Linux-style window dragging in Windows with AltDrag
As the owner of a netbook, I sometimes have to deal with application windows that I can't move because the title bar isn't visible.
Thankfully, a 10kb download has solved this problem for me. AltDrag is free, portable program that allows you to drag a window by holding down the alt key on your keyboard and clicking and dragging anywhere. For the 5mb of memory it consumes, it's well worth carrying on your ultraportable.
When launched, it appears as a system tray icon which you can right-click to force it to autostart with Windows or hide the icon.
By holding alt + shift and dragging, AltDrag will snap your window to the edge of your screen. I did notice that it had a little problem with the Vista start orb, and usually snapped below it. Everywhere else on the screen, it worked flawlessly.
