Is there any software or means to enable two windows to automatically appear side by side on my monitor? Then, when I open a new window, it appears in the fixed place on either the left or right half of the monitor?

I have Windows Vista.

Thanks.

I don't know of any software that automatically does it, and programs by default open something like 10 px to the right and down from the last window position they had. Some programs override that on load, but many don't.

That said, it would be very, very easy to write one - it would take about 10 or 15 lines of code. In C# you would use the System.Diagnostics.Process class to find your two windows (by iterating the GetProcesses or GetProcessesByName method return values aka collections) and then manipulating them, I guess through the MainWindowHandle property. Then you can just set their location property to move the windows next to each other.
