SecondShell is a free portable software, providing useful enhancements for the Windows shell with some extra help to notebook users.

You can use SecondShell to:

1. Maximize windows horizontally or vertically - when you need longer lines or more rows, but not a full screen window – customizable hotkeys.

2. Move and resize windows easily.
While pressing ALT, click anywhere in the window and drag the mouse to move. While pressing ALT, right-click anywhere in the window and drag the mouse to resize. This also works with not resizable windows.

3. Minimize and close applications easily
Right-click anywhere in the window titlebar to minimize the window.
Middle-click anywhere in the window titlebar to close the application.

4. Snap windows to screen edges or corners.
CTRL ALT Numpad 1…9 – hotkeys can be changed in the ini file
e.g.1: CTR ALT Numpad 9 snaps the window to the upper right corner of the screen
e.g.2: CTR ALT Numpad 3 snaps the window to the lower right corner.

5. Resize windows in steps. Press Ctrl Alt (Plus) to maximize a window with a step or Ctrl Alt (Minus) to minimize a window. The hotkeys and resize steps in pixels can be changed in the ini file

6. Resize browser windows to standard screen resolutions – very useful for web designers
With SecondShell you can use up to 10 custom hotkeys to launch your frequently used application. This feature, its hotkeys and application paths can be enabled and set in the configuration file.

This software comes with an interesting function for the people using a laptop without a mouse: it can change the CapsLock button into middle mouse button – Turned off by default.

You can quickly disable and enable SecondShell with a hotkey or by double-clicking the tray icon if you need the original shell behavior temporarily.
SecondShell is portable, can be unzipped to any folder, and it will not modify any of your settings, and will not touch the registry.
