ShellEnhancer offers several productivity enhancements that allow you to automate tasks via keyboard hotkeys, and manipulate windows. You can create tasks that launch applications, enter text, open web pages, open Control Panel applets, send keystrokes, restart your computer and more. In addition, you can automatically apply transparency to software windows, resize/position them on the screen (automatically after launch) and resize windows without having to move your mouse to a corner of a window. ShellEnhancer can also replace the default Task Switcher (Alt+Tab) and comes with a unique feature that enables you to make particular colors in a window transparent.

ShellEnhancer Features:
1. The Enhanced TaskSwitcher can be used as a replacement for the standard Alt+Tab taskswitcher. It has a nicer layout, supports keyboard and mouse navigation and can display a preview of the window. ShellEnhancer 3.0 or later supports Live Previews.
2. The Mosaic TaskSwitcher is another TaskSwitcher which you can use as an Alt+Tab replacement.
3. Mini-taskswitcher is a new command that can be assigned to a task and thus for example to a mouse gesture.
4. Auto Manage windows: Example: Each time a Notepad is started, activate Always On Top and set transparency to 30%.
5. Create complex tasks which make your life easier. Tasks can be made to do a sequence of events you would normally have to do manually. But you can also use it to make simple tasks like starting screensaver, start notepad,... See below for a list of Available Task Commands.
