Prevent expansion of window full screen on the Windows 7 Desktop?

  1. When I move a window to the left or right on the desktop, Windows 7, often it develops in full screen.  I find this very annoying.  How do I stop/disable Windows 7 to automatically expand the window?

Hello

This function is called Aero Snap.

When you drag a window, you can break it down to the top of the screen to enlarge the window, or share and on the other, fill half of the screen of the window.

The action that "snaps" of the window and the edge of the screen when the mouse cursor reaches the last row of Pixels on the edge of the screen.

You can disable this feature.

Open Control Panel / accessibility / make the mouse easier to use.

At the bottom of the window, place a check in the option prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen .

Apply / OK.

Kind regards.

  • Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to standard window resizing.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the start search bar menu type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

  • When you play games like Cityville, Farmville etc. Never, I get the full screen. The bottom and the right side are cut off

    When I opened these games, parts of the game screen is not displayed. If I click to full screen in Farmville, it shows in Cityville I can't click to full screen but the part of the screen is missing. If I open these games in Internet Explorer. the entire screen appears.

    I also have this problem, the bottom of Cityville fell after some actions, mainly requesting assistance on an object that must be 'charged '. The regular calls that go straight to the facebook wall don't do that. In any case, after experimentation, I found an easy solution that works every time. I have click on the free gifts tab and send the box stuff, NRG, allowed, just some, and it resets the problem without having to close the tab in Firefox.

  • Microsoft Surface Pro does not open in mode full screen without the toolbar on the right projection

    I created an interactive pdf designed for the Microsoft Surface Pro 3, set to open full screen mode. Recently, I think I did something for the preferences settings and now whenever I open the file: (a) I get a warning that it will open in mode full screen (I just want it to open it without the warning); and (b) the toolbar is always right if the presentation is not really in the entire screen. Help, please.

    It's kind of like a dashboard on the right side. The tools that are available are 'tools to fill & sign' (exoanded to: add text, add Checkmark, initial Place, place of Signature). Showing also but not expanded not is 'Send or collect Signatures' and 'Working with certificates.'

    I have been a little more troubleshooting on mine, and now I'm fairly certain that the toolbar appears because the document contains few fields to fill. I removed these items and now the file is opened in mode full screen without the list toolbar.

  • Prevent the video full screen of the iPhone

    Hi, I'm unable to prevent iPhone video to view full screen. I use the following code:

    var vid = sym.$("Rectangle");

    VID.html ("< the video id ="videoPlayer"width ="400"height ="225 "src =" test.mp4 "type =" video/mp4 "controls =" orders" webkit-playsinline> < / video > ');

    The webkit-playsinline is ignored. Is there a solution using java script?

    Unfortunately he mixed rules when playing video online on iOS. You can play a video online within a web application or a web page is saved in the home screen using webkit-playsinline, but this does not work when you use Safari. If the intention is to have a Web site with the video you are out of luck, but if you create a web application you have the ability to add webkit-playsinline as an attribute of video online.
