Disable Aero Snap in Windows 7 - Window Arrangement
Windows 7 Window Management Customization
A notable enhancement in Windows 7 involves its refined window management capabilities. Users can conveniently maximize or resize windows by simply dragging them to the screen's top or sides, effectively occupying half the display area.
However, this functionality presents a challenge for those accustomed to partially displaying windows off-screen – a technique often employed when only a portion of a window's content is required. In Windows 7, this action inadvertently triggers a resize to fill half the screen.
How to Disable Automatic Window Resizing
Fortunately, this behavior can be modified. It's important to note that disabling this feature also affects dragging windows to the screen's top for maximization, though the setting can be toggled as needed. The process to disable Mouse Window Drag Arranging is straightforward.
Begin by accessing the Control Panel. Navigate to the Ease of Access center within the Control Panel.
From the Ease of Access center, select "Make the mouse easier to use."
Locate and uncheck the option labeled "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen."
Finally, click the "Apply" button to save your new preference.
While this feature is personally appealing and may not require disabling for all users, the availability of this configuration option provides valuable flexibility.
