Clear your desktop by shaking in Windows

After working for a number of hours during the day, you may find that you have too many windows open and it’s just too hard to get through to the program you’re working on.

Thankfully, Windows 7 has included a nifty little feature to deal with this.

To minimise every window you don’t need, just grab the task bar of the program you want with your mouse, and shake it a little. You’ll find that every other window will then minimise itself.
