Aero Shake AutoHotkey Script

1. I'm adding this AutoHotkey script from the Google Group to this forum.

   ; Aero Shake (like Windows 7)
   ;
   ; AutoHotkey Version: 1.0.47.01 (tested version)
   ; Language:       English
   ; Platform:       Windows XP, Vista
   ; Author:         Copyright 2008, 2009 Bob Menke
   ; Author Contact: bobbo33 on http://groups.google.com/group/lifehacker-coders
   ;
   ; Script Function:
   ;   Left-click on a window's title bar and "shake" it
   ;   back and forth, all other windows minimize
   ;

3. I can't get this to work, unfortunately :(

   Do I have to shake in a particular way?

4. I don't see the point of Aero Shake. It's a silly parlor trick to impress your friends, but not very useful otherwise. I find myself triggering it by accident more often than not. How can I disable it?

6. Thanks, howtogeek, for bringing this over! I'm the original author of AeroShake, and I figured everyone would have forgotten about it now that Windows 7 is out.

   And I hate to say it, it really is kind of a party trick like androider said, and I actually don't use it on my system day-to-day.

   A little more back-patting: PC World picked it up last year and offered it for download too...

   Amazing how something so small takes on a life of it's own!

   However, if you have requests, you can continue to post them here.
