Disable Aero Shake

Disable “Aero Shake” in Windows7

One of the new additions to Windows 7 is the “Aero Shake” feature using which it is possible to grab a window using it’s title bar and shake it. This will minimize all the other open windows if any. It is really a handy feature! However, if you ever wanted to disable this feature, here is a solution:

1.    Open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

2.    Now, right-click on “Windows” key and create a new Key called Explorer.

3.    Right-click on the “Explorer” key and create a new “DWORD” called NoWindowMinimizingShortcuts and set it’s value to 1.

4.    Close the Registry Editor and reboot the computer to see the changes in effect.
