Sometimes you want to look at several programs on your Windows desktop at the same time. So you resize Firefox, Word, Excel, and whatever else it is you're using, and then spend about 5 minutes trying to line them up to maximize your screen real estate. The whole process would be a lot easier if programs would just sort of snap together at the edges, wouldn't it?AllSnap is a utility that lets you snap program windows together much the same way different parts of the music program Winamp snap together. We last looked at AllSnap more than two years ago. Since then, the developer has added an experimental x64 version, and added a "snap to grid" feature.
By selecting snap to grid, you can snap windows not just snugly against one another, but you can snap them to invisible lines on your Windows desktop, making it easier to line up applications that might not actually be touching. After all this talk of snapping, if you're still not clear what the heck we're talking about, check out the demo video after the jump.

Nice. If it works, it looks like something I've wanted for a long time.

Here's a tip for Windows users: you can select multiple windows from your taskbar by simply Ctrl+clicking their titles on the taskbar.
With multiple windows selected, right-click any of them (on the taskbar again) and a menu with positioning options will appear.
Pretty handy when you want 2 explorers side-by-side, for instance.
