Looking at this site, it looks like Toolbox will support a 3 panel mode, but it only works with the 15 tools they programmed in and none of them are MS Word, Excel, or notepad.<br />

I think you best bet is to manually resize the windows, or do a dual-monitor setup. &nbsp;Windows 8 still supports the auto-snap for a 2 panel mode. &nbsp;If you start there and just make room for the third panel, it wouldn't take too long. &nbsp;It's a matter of personal preference of course, but I thin I'd rather do that than have to deal with some other program anyway.
