In order to perform a Aero shake, go to the title bar, click on it and gently shake the trackball of your mouse by clicking on the left side of the mouse. You need not have to shake the entire mouse but should not release the hand from the left side of the mouse. That’s it. The inactive windows will be minimized and pinned to the taskbar.

Aero shake is available only in higher versions of Windows 7 which supports Aero. You should have a minimum of 2 GB of RAM to have a smooth working experience with Aero. Please also note that all your sticky notes will also be pinned to the Taskbar as a result of Aero Shake.
