what is this? (windows os Q) (screenshot included)

[SanKakU]

i was moving my computer and i guess my mouse was clicking things. i don't really remember ever doing this before...how did i accidently do this? anyone know?

all my windows were well, windowed and each having a little space on the screen, instead of some being in the background. i'm familiar with handling windows so that many can be seen at a time like this...but this seemed to be some automatic windows function...which i didn't know exist...maybe my google desktop did it...idk. i want to do it again...

Try right clicking on your task bar, and selecting Cascade windows.

oh. you're close. it's tile windows horizontally.

oh and btw, a little trivia, cascade windows is what windows 3.1 or whatever version that was did all the time when opening new windows. it was kindof annoying, heh heh.

Are you using XP? Windows 7 doesn't have the same options, or at least not under the same name.

Ah, is that Windows 98? Or... what? xD (sorry, by the look of the windows, it looks a little out-dated )

Looking at how the flag looks like on the Start menu button, the OS is definately Windows XP. He just switched to the classic theme with edited colours.

Ok, well, Windows XP, lemme see.....
I don't remember that OS having that ability, but Windows 7 has a Snap ability, which when you drag-and-drop a window to the side/top/bottom of the screen, it will become half of the screen. I wonder if you can configure this to do it so that it will only take up a quarter of the screen....... If anyone has any info, help him out here.
