Shortcut to minimize all windows except the one working window - Cool Shortcuts

Here is one cool shortcut which i found accidentally on yesterday. I am doing internship in HCL yesterday i was working there was writing some code and it was not working. What i did in frustration, I click on top of that window n shacked it. What happened next astonished me. After then i realized i found a new secret shortcut of windows 7 to minimize all windows except the one in which you are working.

Here are the steps for this shortcut, this shortcut is useful while working with multiple applications.

Do try this shortcut follow these steps:

step1: Open up multiple windows of any choice ( like notepad, paint , browser ...).

step2: Click on top of any of the window and shake it twice ( just hold your mouse button and move left to right and right to left twice quickly).

step3: you will notice that, all other windows getting minimized.

step4: Also if u do that again, you can restore all the windows back.


Unfortunately this trick doesn't work with window Vista and XP, it is only useful for Window7 users.
