Desktop Slider1.03

Desktop Slider is a tiny and portable tool that lets you manage active windows easier. It's made for busy PC users who frequently juggle multiple applications when working or studying.

No setup necessary

As there is no installation involved, you can drop the program files in any location on the disk and just click the executable to launch Desktop Slider. Another possibility is to keep it stored on a removable storage unit to seamlessly run it on any PC you connect to. It doesn't add new entries to the Windows registry.

Available from the systray

After running it, Desktop Slider creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area for quick access. Plus, it's not intrusive, allowing you to carry on with your normal PC activity without noticing it.

Configure window settings

As far as program options are concerned, you can enable snap to borders and adjust the level, activate the x and y axis (optionally invert it), tweak the mouse sensitivity, as well as enable an active mouse button trigger and set it middle, left or right.Plus, you can ask the app to require holding down the Shift or Ctrl buttons, turn Win+C into a key combination for jumping to the selected window, as well as show all windows with one click from the tray icon's right-click menu.

Evaluation and conclusion

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that Desktop Slider didn't freeze, crash or display errors. It used low CPU and RAM, so it didn't hamper system performance. Too bad that it hasn't been recently updated. Otherwise, this app features some simple and handy options for managing opened windows.
