Window Pad

Haven't used this a ton but there is one feature I LOVE!

I'm a supporter of the snap feature to re-size windows to fill one side of the screen, but Windows only allows that on the far right, far left, and full screen. This is n't an issue with a single screen, but with multiple monitors it was a lot of snapping and then dragging into the position I wanted. With windowPad, I use the number pad and can easily make a window (on either monitor) half screen inside,outside, top or bottom. then I can also make it 1/4 the screen in a corner or vertically or horizontally...

I think you get the picture

Only drawback is that there is a shortcut that instead of holding in the windows key as the trigger to start the re-sizing, you can also use the zero on the 10-key. so when entering number is can re-size the windows which was annoying for a bit but it taught me not to have a lazy thumb when entering numbers.
