Turning off aero snap

By now you certainly know that in Windows 7, dragging a window to the side of the screen will autoresize it to the exactly half of your available space, and  dragging it to the top will cause it to fill the entire display. This is great for some people; but if you don’t like Aero Snap, you’re stuck with having to undo the resizing, often dozens of times per day. You can turn of this behavior with a Registry hack:
  1. Run Regedit,
  2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  3. Control Panel
  4. Desktop
  5. set WindowArrangementActive to 0
  6. Reboot to take effect the changes
