MaxTo

MaxTo is a free system utility that simplifies automation by allowing users to configure and manage multiple workspaces on their desktop. Developed by Digital Creations AS, the latest version of MaxTo, 2017.7, is a compact tool with a file size of just 3 MB. This utility supports a comprehensive range of Windows operating systems, including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.

When installed, users will find two essential files in their system: MaxTo.exe, and MaxTo.Core.exe. These files provide full functionality to the automation features of the program. The utility works seamlessly with both 32-bit and 64-bit programs and is fully compatible with User Account Control (UAC).

One of the standout features that makes MaxTo popular is its ability to work with all types of monitors, including older CRT models. Users can download this program to quickly move windows around their desktop using straightforward keyboard shortcuts. These shortcuts are easy to remember, empowering users to efficiently manage their workspace without wrestling with standard Windows controls like the taskbar or windows alternator.

MaxTo allows the creation of multiple workspaces, each acting as independent work areas. Simply maximizing a window within a workspace area resizes it to fit the allocated space, which can be particularly helpful for users who need to monitor and control multiple windows simultaneously. This setup is perfect for optimizing productivity across both single and multiple monitor environments.

The other versions of MaxTo available include 2015.11 and 2015.07, though the latest version, 2017.7, should be prioritized for the newest features and improvements. Being in the system utilities category, MaxTo sets itself apart in the subcategory of automation due to its straightforward yet powerful functionality.
