Brent - I have two monitors displaying more applications than I can keep track of. Is there a good way to stay organized while running multiple applications / monitors?
Most of the guys at our small business IT support office run their laptops on docking stations with a second monitor and they all have their own ways of staying organized while multitasking. WinSplit Revolution is a great freeware option that is fully customizable to your workflow. Use it to quickly position multiple applications on multiple displays or easily move windows from one screen to another; everything is broken down into hot keys for quick manipulation. Using the system tray applet, you can set your own hot keys and specify window sizes for each individual setting.
It's worth looking into, so try it out and see what modes work best for you. Try out the window-snapping and auto-sizing, make some adjustments and even save your screen layouts so you can "snap" back to them at any time. The download is available at the WinSplit Revolution download site.
