Use “Aero Shake” to minimize all windows except one

“Aero Shake” is an example of the features called “gestures” that are becoming more common in computers. It does the same thing as the preceding tip but uses the mouse. Place the mouse pointer on the title bar of a window you want to keep open. Hold down the left mouse button and rapidly move the window back and forth three times- left, right, left. All other open windows will suddenly minimize. The gesture may take a little getting used to. If you shake too slowly, it doesn’t work. Repeat the gesture and all windows are restored. But, if you do something else first after minimizing, the gesture won't restore the minimized windows.
