2 radical Vista tricks involving Shift+Left Click

#1.  Do you use the ”WindowsKey+E” shortcut to open Explorer?   Of course you do.  But the window opens up small, don’t it.   Here’s how to simply make the default size of that window larger.   Open a new Explorer window.   Resize it to where you’d like.  Now hold Shift while you click the X in the corner.   This should save that window size for next time.   Works for me; let me know if not for you.  If that didn’t work, try Ctrl-clicking the X.  Or Ctrl+Shift+click.  Damn Vista is weird.

#2.  (If you have Aero or some other undefined visual capability enabled):  You should see the window in the above step evaporate in slow-mo.   You can also hold Shift while you minimize a window to see slow-mo.  And it also works while restoring minimized windows from the task bar.
