Short Keys to tile windows horizontally

[B Whaley]

I'm trying to tile windows horozontally without using the
mouse. This is for some testing I'm doing using a host
computer with a keyboard emulator.

Do you know how to do this? Maybe a batch file or
something like that????

THANKS!

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

UndoMinimize ALL Restores all of the windows on the desktop to the

To tile/cascade specific windows ctrl + click them on the taskbar, then right click one and choose cascade or tile.
