Create a text file called something.vbs. Create a shortcut to it and place the shortcut on the desktop or Start menu (only places windows looks for shortcuts with shortcut keys), right click it, Properties, and set it to a keystroke. This will do all open windows.

Paste this in

Set wshshell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
wshshell.TileHorizontally

Choose one from below
