Abstract: A window linking system is provided that links windows on a video display to reduced window clutter. When two windows are linked, the linked windows combine to form one larger window, known as an aggregate window, that is manipulated as a single window. By linking windows together, fewer individual windows are contained on the workspace of a video display, which reduces window clutter and which allows a user to more easily reorganize their workspace since fewer windows require manipulation. The window linking system implements window linking by using a container. A "container" is a screen object like a window to which another window, called a docking window, can be linked. The window linking system detects when a docking window is attempting to be linked with a container by determining whether the docking window is being dropped at the border of the container.
