Basics - Shortcut Key

[David Williams]

This is a very basic question - well, some might think so!

Does there exist, or can I establish a simple keyboard shortcut to allow
open folders to 'Tile Vertically or for that matter horizontally?.

If so, where or how is it done?

I know that right clicking the taskbar will offer me the option, but can it
be shortcut?
