Annoying Windows 7 'feature'

| Hi, Ok, does anyone know how to turn of the 'auto-window-maximize' feature on Windows 7? This is where if you drag the window title bar near the edge of the screen, the window will automatically maximize itself (or half maximize). I gave it a chance and have decided I don't like it but can't see how to get rid of it! |

| And use Winsplit Revolution instead. With it you can position your windows extremely fast with keyboard or mouse. http://www.winsplit-revolution.com/ |

| Hi, Oops - yes this should be in general help! Fixing... It's an interesting feature, but I'm just too used to 'parking' windows at the edge of the screen. |

| It's an interesting feature, but I'm just too used to 'parking' windows at the edge of the screen. Same. When I first noticed the feature I was like 'oh, that seems like a sensible addition'. Now I'm like 'GET THAT FREAKING THING AWAY FROM THERE!!!' |

| I actually like it, i got used to it a few years ago using compiz fusion. t was nice to see it in windows tbh. No idea how to kill it though. |

| Ugh... fortunately I ddon't have to deal with Win7 ...yet... Sounds like areal pain though. Personally, I hate maximised windows with a passion. I Like to stretch windows out depending on what's on them, but never maximised, they must be moveable!!! Hope you get it sorted, I don't have any idea on what it may be excvept perhaps an option under the display settings or If there's still a Tools pulldown thing on each window? |

| I Like to stretch windows out depending on what's on them, but never maximised, they must be moveable!!! I pretty much run everything maximized -- and that's actually one of the nice features of Windows 7, in that you CAN move a maximized window (it automatically un-maximizes as soon as you start to drag it elsewhere) |

| that's actually one of the nice features of Windows 7, in that you CAN move a maximized window (it automatically un-maximizes as soon as you start to drag it elsewhere) That's good to know. Now you've told me that, I think that might be more ideal. Maximum size but ewasily moveable :) |
