Build montages simply by dragging and dropping files, folders, links, and hyperlinks, to create Montage Shortcuts within one or more Montage Desktop windows. Just by opening a montage, you can restore a complex configuration of multiple applications running on your desktop, arranged precisely as they were left when the montage was last closed. Montage saves time by eliminating the repetitive tasks of launching, positioning, and resizing windows individually, and letting you to close groups of applications all at once. Without cluttering your desktop, Montage provides a novel way of organizing information in compact, portable modules corresponding to tasks, activities, and logical groupings.
