3. Minimize All Windows Except The Active One

If you have your laptop screen too crowded with open windows, you can minimize them all easily except that you are active. Only press the title bar on the window you want to keep. Then hold down the mouse and move the window rapidly back and forth – literally shaking it. After a few short shakes, all other open windows will reduce, and only the one you shook open will be left open. That’s just neat.
