I was thinking i have alot of programs i enjoy opening at the same time, eg Flash and Dreamweaver, DesktopX and Windows Blinds etc. So i was like too bad there isent a program where it connects the two programs into one shortcut or link so it opens them both at the same time.

But thats not it i was also thinking there is always alot of icons on my taskbar showing me that i have alot of programs runnign in the background so i was thinking too bad there wasent a program that grouped them into once little icon or simmilar program you want into 1 icon.

Anyways is there one of those programs out already, if not could someone give me tips for those two idea, on how i could do something simmilar without a program though.

Please use periods to separate your sentences.

You could use Virtual Desktop. It's built-in for linux. What it does, is it has 4 desktop configurations so you can simply click on a little square near the system tray to launch one of the 4 configurations. Each configuration can have programs maximized/minimized at different locations/sizes. What it'll do is basically you will have 2 monitors open at the same time, since there is no need to switch between programs.

I believe Microsoft has made a version of virtual desktop for Windows XP. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
