Windows Docking shortcut in Win7

[nickCR]

Just discovered a great shortcut for window 7 window docking.

While inside a window hold down the windows key and press the left or right arrow on your keyboard. The window your in will dock into and out of the docking position on your screen(s)! This is excellent for anyone that has multiple monitors because it's next to impossible to dock on extended desktops.

This is like the time I accidentally discovered I could flip my screen upside down or sideways in xp, except this is useful

also win+# will open the application that is docked on your taskbar, win+d will show desktop

It was just sheer dumb luck I came across this one. Huge for me since I have 3 monitors and Win 7 is dumb for not allowing me to dock on extended desktops with the drag and drop method but this is actually so much better Using it all day long now.
