Selecting Multiple files from taskbar is often a necessary requirement.
If you are like me, you must be having many windows open in your task bar at a time. And many times, you must be requiring them to open side-by-side in order to work on both of them simultaneously.
One way is to resize them, and place them side-by-side manually.
But, there is a simple solution.

Hold down the CTRL key, and now you can select multiple windows from your task bar. Right click on any of them, and you will have many options for the placement of these windows. You can Cascade, Stack or place them side-by-side.
.
Try it, it is super quick way, and saves your precious one minute.

This is also possible in windows xp, so it is not a new feature in vista

Tried this today in XP, and it works just fine.First I held down CTRL and clicked on the taskbar. Nothing happend. Then I held down CTRL again and clicked inside the window in the taskbar, then it worked.

I knew about this in DOS when coding and in mIRC. Never tried it in windows. Awesome tip!
