Group And Organize Program Icons In Windows 7 Taskbar - Bins I love the fact how Microsoft puts in many new features amidst every new iteration of Windows OS. Among many great features found in Windows 7, the option to pin items to the taskbar (also called superbar) is of immense convenience. It is far more flexible than the quick launch option that was previously present in earlier Windows versions like the XP or Vista. However, if one has too many items pinned to the taskbar, it can result in a lot of clutter. It is a Windows taskbar organizer which can group multiple pinned tabs by binding them together to reduce taskbar clutter. To consolidate multiple items together, choose the pinned item and hover it over another pinned program’s icon. This will allow you to set multiple pinned items together in such a way that you will be able to reduce clutter on your taskbar. Bins sits in the system tray, from where you can bring up Settings window to configure provided options and features. Download Bins Advertisement

How to Combine Two Images/Pictures without Photoshop Recently, I had a situation where I wanted to send someone a picture, but I wanted it to be a combination of two pictures. Sending the pictures separately would not have been fun, due to the fact that they had to be shown side by side to get the best effect. I also wanted to do this without Photoshop or downloading some third party program! I got it to work using Paint, though it’s not the most ideal tool to use for obvious reasons. As long as you are ok with a little bit of cropping and image resizing, it’s not really that bad at all and the results are good. In this article, I’ll walk you through the steps to merge two pictures into one in Windows. First, let’s start with the images we want to combine. The next thing we want to do is to figure out the image sizes. Click on the little arrow to the left of the Home tab and click on Properties. You can either do it by percentage or by pixels if you prefer. Once you have resized it, then you can also crop it if you want. So that’s it!
