How many windows do you normally have open at a time?
(Just wondering.)
My average: 8
~4-5
Like 3, tops. Except for some "special" occasions...
On average, 5-6. Most I've had, purposefully, was probably about 20.
At home no more than 3-4, but at work I typically have anywhere from 10-12 open.
Right now, 19, but sometimes even more.
4 instances of cmd.exe
2 instances of putty
1 AIM window
1 firefox
1 visual studio
1 eclipse
1 outlook
2 textpad
2 notepad
1 VNC Viewer
3 explorer
At home, I usually have around 4-6, which is usually Firefox, Notepad, 1-2 Explorer, an IDE/Compiler, and sometimes an image editor like Photoshop or maybe 3DS Max. Though if you consider Firefox has around 4 webpages in it's tab browser, you could say it's more. I also keep WinAmp and Trillian minimized in the tray most of the time.
depends... sometimes the average is about 7-8, sometimes it's no more than 2... sometimes I bring it down to 1...
then again that's on my main desktop... I have four desktops enabled, sometimes all of which are in use with their seperate groups of programs running... my main desktop (1) - usually running X-Chat, XMMS, Firefox, and whatever else, my background process desktop (3) - running things that have windows that I dont' want to monitor or dont' want cluttering anything else,, my torrent destkop (4) - azureus takes up the whole deskto and I like to keep it open so I can see it quickly, and my "other" main desktop (2), which I use when I do something like programming or anything that makes me open a few related windows...
Usually Visual Studio, explorer, mIRC, a couple of MSN windows, firefox (with a tonne of tabs) and windows media player (dunno if that counts because it's shrunk).
I usually have like 4-6 , they are usually big programs, such as 3ds max, photoshop, MSVC, probably internet exlporer too. If it was minimized i might have a game or two running in the background. :)
no more than three...plus 3 that do not show up in task bar.
Usually no more than 2 or 3, after that my computer slows down to a halt.
Increase your virtual memory, then minimize your inactive windows.
I dont really have more than 3-4 open
Usualy 1-2 aim windows, a firefox, and something else... I keep a lot of things by my clock as little icons, such as WinAmp, Outlook, and other programs.
Typically, I'll have between 8 and 14 windows on XP at work, and between 4 and 10 at home. On MacOS X, I usually have about 6. On Linux, I generally have between 4 and 20, depending on what project I'm working on.
