What is Aero Shake in Windows 7

Aero Shake in Windows 7 is a useful and interesting feature of Windows 7. It helps user to minimize the open window applications on the screen to the one user wants. It is very easy to use, just select or click on the opened window application you want to work and shake it bidirectionally i.e. ; forward and backward on the screen  and all the other window applications that you don’t want will be minimized.

For example, you might have many windows open at the same time, but you only want to concentrate on one. All you have to do is put your mouse on the top bar of the window you want to keep, hold down the left mouse button, and shake your hand. This will shake the window and get rid of all the other Windows that were open on the desktop. If you want to put the other windows back again, simply shake the window again. Aero shake in Windows 7 is a very simple tool.

This is a feature that is not available in Windows Vista or Windows XP.
