How Can I Disable the Auto Window Resize?

You can disable auto window resize by using the Ease of Access Center.

Windows 7 comes with a utility called the Ease of Access Center that makes it easier to focus on tasks. The utility includes options for voice control, changing the appearance of Windows elements and making the keyboard and mouse easier to use. By default, Windows enables a feature that resizes a window if you move it close to the top of the screen. However, you can turn this setting off if you do not want windows to resize automatically.

Instructions

1. Click "Start" and select "Control Panel." Click "Ease of Access" and select "Ease of Access Center."

2. Click "Make It Easier to Focus on Reading and Typing Tasks" under "Explore All Settings."

3. Select the check box next to "Prevent Windows From Being Automatically Arranged When Moved to the Edge of the Screen" under "Make It Easier to Manage Windows." Click "OK" to apply your changes.
