    I'm not too sure how to describe this, but I've noticed this in Windows 7 (don't recall it being on Windows Vista, didn't try that too long) and its driving me crazy. I will be taking a window that is covering half of my display, and moving it around. At a certain point, when it reaches the top of the display, it automatically maximizes. I don't want this to happen at all. Is there a way I can stop this "feature "? If I want to maximize a window, I can do it by simply clicking that box in the middle of that upper right corner.

    You don't have to 'switch off' anything if you don't want... The 'snap' won't happen as long as you don't 'touch' the edge of the screen with your mouse cursor, nor will it happen if you keep your mouse button pressed down - at which point you just move back a bit from the edge of th screen).

    On my dual-monitor desktop setup I hardly use it, but I love it on my laptop to quickly have 2 windows open and occupy 1/2 of the screen (WinKey + arrow key).
