window tiling software

I've been searching for a bit and haven't found anything. I'm looking for a window tiling software like Asus' Multi-frame. It allows you to re size a window to 1/4, 1/2, or full screen and you can choose which side of the screen it goes to. This is instead of having to manually click and drag each one to the dimensions you want and then moving it into position. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've checked out Flip 3D and that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want to move from one window to another, I want windows placed on the desktop in specific locations and sizes. I'm running Vista 64,but let me know of ANY program that does this regardless of OS.

 

OK. I found this freeware program Winsplit. It works pretty well, but it's not integrated into the windows. You have to click on the Winsplit icon in the task bar and it brings up another icon showing where and what size you want the window to go to.

Also found the shortcut of holding down the control key and clicking on the task bar icons of the windows you want to work with and then right clicking. This allows you to tile horizontally or vertically, not into quarters though.

 

This probably will not help you at all, but Windows 7 has this feature built in, just fyi.

 

Another plus for Win7.

 

Windows Vista also has this feature (at least Ultimate does). Open two windows, right click on your taskbar, and select "Tile windows side by side" or something similar (I am at work now, using Linux, so I can't confirm).

Let me know if it works.

 

Oh, the little click-menu option takes too long, and it's too big. It takes a bit of setting up if you're particular about these things, but using the keyboard shortcuts rearranges the workspace much more quickly. Hitting Ctrl + Alt + numpad 4 (as set by default) once resizes the active window to half the screen width and places it to the left. Doing it a second time will resize it to a third of the width, a third time results in 2/3 of the screen width. Similarly, hitting Ctrl + Alt + numpad 9 once sends the active window NE and resizes it to 1/4 of the screen, twice resizes it to 1/6, and so on. You can configure the various sizes by right-clicking on the taskbar icon and choosing 'Layout settings'.

Mind you, I use this on the 1920 * 1200 desktop, cause it would be a tad ridiculous for me to use it on a 1280 * 800 laptop, but if the keyboard shortcuts prove problematic on the lappy (I get annoyed with turning on numlock all the time), right click and choose 'Hotkey settings' to adjust.

There's also GridMove, which seems to be mouse-based and might work better for you.

 

works in xp, too.. and i think it worked in win2000, too.. maybe even before.

I'm looking to tile only certain windows, not all of them.

 

Hey thanks! Those shortcuts would be great if I can custom configure them, so I'll keep at it. I'll check out that program too.

You're right, having to go to the taskbar and click on the Winsplit icon and then the direction arrow is a bit time consuming. That's why I really liked Asus' mult, it was embedded in the individual windows.
