Comments on: 7 Tools To Make Your WinXP Netbook Shine http://gigaom.com/2008/12/12/7-windows-xp-utilities-for-your-netbook/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:47:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Adam http://gigaom.com/2008/12/12/7-windows-xp-utilities-for-your-netbook/#comment-155136 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:51:38 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=31749#comment-155136 I just found one of the most useful tools for a netbook. All of those windows and dialogue boxes that are just too big to fit the screen? Can’t see the bottom of your browser options?

AltDrag is a program that lets you move any window simply by holding ‘Alt’ and dragging anywhere inside the window. This means that you can move the window up, access the parts of that window that were hidden below the screen before, and then move it back down again. Extremely useful!

I had been using xplorer2 lite for some time but when I tried Q-Dir, its way even better. xplorer2 lite isn’t too friendly with a local SVN tree anyway…

Always have all my docs with me. And as a personal organizer, don’t forget evernote.

Great article.

Is there a Java program for netbooks that I can use? I need to be able to see the instructor’s slides during the presentation.

I use meshwrite (http://meshwrite.com) as it uses as much of my netbook’s screen as possible. I’m sure there are other full screen XP apps out there as well. Anybody else seen any other netbook friendly apps?
