Automatic Resizing Windows in Windows 7

To enable automatic resizing of Windows in Windows 7 you will need to change some settings in the Control Panel.

Click Start.

Choose Control Panel.

Click on the Ease of Access Center.

Then select Make the mouse easier to use.

Make sure the 'Prevent Windows from being automatically arranged when moved' to the edge of the screen is not ticked.

Click on OK

Now when you open a window you can drag it. Click on the toolbar of the window, hold down the left mouse button and drag the window to the edge of the screen. Release and it will resize to cover just half of the screen. Really useful if you are working with two documents at the same time.
