CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This program quickly moves selected windows into different areas of your screen, but program limitations prevent demo users from sampling its full capabilities. WinZen's simple and cartoonlike interface lists all open windows and offers screen display examples. You can move multiple windows quickly in various patterns such as all to corners, edges, centered, or tiled. First click the Refresh button (or press F5), and then highlight a window title. This demo only moves windows to the screen corners or the center. To access any other arrangements you must register the program. Even the registered version forces you to open WinZen, highlight windows to move and chose an arrangement. We found the process unnecessarily tedious. WinZen doesn't include hot-key features for quick window movement or add quick arrange buttons to program windows. The application lacked a Help file or any intro message to help the novice get started, but there were numerous messages prompting you to register the program. We felt this application was an idea in search of a need. Maybe intermediate users with multiple programs and large displays could find this application useful, but advanced users won't be satisfied with WinZen's function or form.Publisher's description
From Grey Matter :Get a few low-level controls for the windows on your desktop. You can minimize, maximize, and drag the titlebar, edge, or corner of a window. What WinZen does is provide higher-level functions for controlling windows in a more task-oriented manner. With WinZen, you can click a button to snap a window into a screen corner. Another button will tile any number of windows across or down the screen. There are functions to grow or shrink multiple windows in unison, slide a common border between two windows, and swap the position of two or more windows.

Version: WinZen 1.0RC2
"Once you get it - you never want to be without it again!"
Pros: I never want to go back to using my computer the old way! WinZen makes my computer seem so powerful and so easy to use! It's simple to set up and very intuitive to learn. It has made a huge difference in my productivity and it has made work so much less stressful. Finally I feel like I am working with my computer instead of against it!
It's such a simple idea - give the user control of the desktop - but it makes all the difference it how it feels to use the computer. Why wasn't Windows designed this way from the beginning???

Version: WinZen 1.0RC2
Pros: Not only does this program help keep my desktop free of extra windows clutter, but it helps me to work with multiple windows when working with certain types of software that require this, and that's a Godsend! Once the Lincensing Fee is paid of $5.00, and the Licensing File is properly downloaded installed, there are NO SALES PICHES AT ALL, which is very nice in this day and age of adware and spyware. The program is small and takes up little space - in short, it is at the top of my "RECOMMEND TO MY COLLEAGUES LIST".
