Windows 7 has this maddening feature that maximizes your window if you move it too close to the edge of the screen. MicroSoft calls it the Snap feature and claims it’s a “quick (and fun) new way to resize open windows, simply by dragging them to the edges of your screen.”
If you work with many different applications at the same time then you need all your pixel real estate. To turn off the Snap feature associated with the mouse follow the below instructions.
Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Ease of Access
Double click on Ease of Access Center
Double click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use
Select the check box beside Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.
Next go to Make the keyboard easier to use
Uncheck the item Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.
Item 5 and 6 will allow you to use the Snap Feature when you want to use it by pressing the Win and the up arrow keys at the same time.
Stop Maximizing My Windows!
