shake a window closes all other windows. Boring

Hey, every time I move a window and maybe I'm just tinkering and I move the mouse fast (shake the window) all current windows up to restrict to the minimum. It is simply annoying. We already have a button at the bottom right and 'windows + D' for this. is it possible to turn it off.

Thanks George

Hi George9012,

It's called Aero shake. To disable it, you must change the registry. Don't worry I will explain step by step. Here are the instructions:

Warning: Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using the registry editor or by using another method. These problems may require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. See How to back up the registry

1. type regedit into the search box of the start menu. Right click and choose "Run as Administrator"

2. navigate to:

Hkey_Current_User\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

3. create a new key explore under key of Windows so that the new path:

Hkey_Current_User\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

* Note: Create the key by right click and select 'New' and 'key '. Enter "Explorer".

4. now select key 'Explorer' and in the right pane, create a new DWORD value

'NoWindowMinimizingShortcuts' and set its value to 1

* Note: Create the DWORD value by right clicking and selecting new and the "DWORD value (32 bit).

5 restart or log off and turn it back on to disable Aero shake

* Remember that regedit is not case-sensitive, and make sure you do not change any other registry settings in the registry.

Hope this helps,

  • Sometimes I want to just close ONLY a window, but Firefox closes all THE TABS, and I don't want to!

    Sometimes, I open multiple windows, especially from my box from Comcast. When I'm through with this window, I will conclude, but leave others more open. FIrefox won't do this anymore when I close the 1 window, Firefox send me a message stating that it is to CLOSE all THE TABS. I DON'T want TO CLOSE all of them, I want to just close the window I close!. This is very annoying, because I have to re - login to all, because FIrefox is 'CLOSE all THE TABS', and everything I want to do to close a window... I'm about to chuck this browser... I tried to find an answer to this in the tools, but was unable to do so. Please help me with this

    Make sure that you do not click the X close in the title bar like that closes the active window with all the tabs.

    If you have the tab bar visible then click the X close this tab or mid, tab, or use the shortcut Ctrl + W key to close the tab.

    If the resulting tab bar hidden then see:

    Hi Adnot

     

    Method 1:

    I suggest to connect the hard drive, then try to run the security analysis. You may need to disable all autorun feature, if you use the drive. Then, try to perform security analysis and check if you have any viruses or malware present.
    See the link below for the analysis and verification.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Method 2:

    You can also perform a clean boot and check if you can open the hard disk properly. To perform the clean boot follow step 1 mentioned in the article below, and then try again check in the clean boot state -

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If the problem is resolved check which service non-Microsoft is the source of the problem; referring to article and following the other steps.
    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • Error when you try to publish movies with Windows Movie Maker: another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computer. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again.

    Movie Maker will not film because of "another user is running Movie Maker on this computor... publish »

    I'm trying to publish a movie on this computor in Windows Movie Maker. The files are .wmv with a band his .wav and are all stored on my computor. I performed this task with success several times and there is enough free space on the computor.

    When I click on publish, there are a few seconds where he tries to publish, but then the program goes into a gel and the dialog box appears with the following: "another user is running Windows Movie Maker on this computor. Please close the other session of Windows Movie Maker before starting Windows Movie Maker again".

    When I click Close, there is an icon of wmv on my desk with the title of my project, but it is empty. I am the only user on this computor and I am puzzled as to why this should be implemented. I tried to turn the filters but nothing helped. One thing that I tried was to publish the band sound and the titles and credits without video files and I found it worked.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you Volenteer J. How would you like to know if a .wmv file is corrupt? Is there something I can do to click the .wmv files that tell me if they are corrupt? I need to identify the files that are causing my problem.

    ==================================================
    Sorry... but it seems that I have more questions than answers.

    You said initially that you could publish the soundtrack and titles with success...
    I was wondering if you tried to add a .wmv file to see if you could publish?

    What was the source of the. WMV files? They are all from the same source?

    They were converted from another format? If_Yes_ maybe another
    Converter would be worth a try.

    You change them widely? (split, rotation, transitions...)

    There is a possibility that you could import the Windows Media .wmv files
    Encoder and convert them to... .WMV to .wmv. Seems pointless, I know...
    but it would create a new .version of the. WMV files and can fix that
    perhaps never the problem.

  • Close all windows pop up at once?

    Any of you know of a way to close all the windows pop up at once?

    Let me explain:

    I have a lot of bins for this great project, I'm working on that.  When I click on a tray, it pops up a window and then when I click on an other bin it pops up a new window.  And while working on this project, before that I know, I'll have dozens of windows open, stacked one on the other.

    Is it possible to close with one step to go back to square one?

    Thank you!

    As far as I know, there is no way to close multiple floating panels in a single step. But what I can offer is a way to avoid all these popups spawning in the first place. Check out the options in the box of pots on the general page of the Preferences dialog box.

  • Windows will start, the screen starts flashing and then the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL all other functions will not work.

    Start my computer, it will default to the CTRL ALT DEL screen.  After graduating in the login screen I enter the password.  Windows will start and then the screen starts flashing and the screen say Logging Off, then restore the screen to the CTRL ALT DEL I can boot into safe mode.  All other functions will not work.

    Thank you

    I guess you wanted to ask how to solve the problem. If then all in Safe Mode you can use system restore to set up Windows to a point when the problem did not exist.
