Better Multitasking

Sunday, September 4, 2005 by j dott | Discussion: OS Customization

I'm looking for a program or few that will help me multi-task better. I don't find the sort of standard virtual desktop programs sufficient. I would like to be able to arrange windows easily, perhaps by using hotkeys and rules (for example, program A always takes up the left side of the screen, program B takes up the top 1/3 of the right side of the screen, etc.). I'd also like to be able to easily exclude programs that are just sort of running in the background (WMP, iTunes, system tray apps, etc.). Any suggestions?

P.S., this seems to be the one area that Stardock doesn't have fully covered--maybe a future "ThinkDesk" release.
