Description
Window Control is a small utility allowing the user to move, resize, minimize, and hide the active window using keyboard. Further options lets you send the active window to the back or set focus to the top-most window in any of the quadrants. All of this is accomplished by using the Windows key and the numerical keypad - no need to reach for the mouse any longer when performing trivial tasks.
Review
Minimize, maximize, hide, or move active windows with this no-frills program, although checking out the read-me file is a must. After installation, Window Control resides in the system tray, but its sparse right-click menu offers so few choices that clicking Help is the only viable option. The read-me file contains a list of shortcuts that allow you to quickly minimize, resize, hide, or move your active windows. (Moving your window means aligning it to one of four quadrants of your screen.) Warning: the shortcuts only work if you're using your numerical keypad. Despite its limitations, anyone seeking control of their windows may still find it useful.
