Today I managed to get time to upgrade my MacBook Pro and Samsung NC10 netbook to Windows 7. Overall, everything went very smoothly however one feature that is on by default caused me much pain; I hate the fact that when I shake the mouse loosely all my windows minimise!
I spent some time hunting for the control panel item to turn it off. Typing in ‘Shake’ into the Control Panel search suggest the ‘Change how your mouse works’ in ‘Ease of Access’. However, there’s no option to turn off shake in there… or is there?
It turns out that ‘Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen’ means what it says AND disables the mouse shake gesture. Thanks Microsoft for making that intuitive – why do I have to turn both off. I like the arranging feature, I hate the shake feature.
