(Win7) Disable auto minimize all windows when dragging one [duplicate]

How do I disable Aero Shake in Windows 7?

There's this feature in Windows 7 that makes all windows minimize when you drag one around. I am not sure what triggers it, as it feels like it just happens from time to time. Is there any way to disable this feature all together? I am not talking about the feature that makes all windows transparent when you hover over one of the thumbs in the menu bar, I am talking about actually minimizing everything.


Solution 1:

It's the Window Shake. If you move a window side to side, it minimizes all the other Windows.

To disable: From How-To Geek.

Disable Aero Shake Manual Registry Hack

Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then navigate down to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

Once you are there, right-click on the Windows key and create a new key called Explorer.

Now right-click on the right-hand side, create a new 32-bit DWORD with the following settings:

Name: NoWindowMinimizingShortcuts Value: 1

Once you’ve created this, you should log off and back on for the change to take effect.
