Windows – Can the default size of Windows 7’s “drag to the left or right to resize window” feature be changed

window-managerwindows 7

Windows 7 includes a feature for easily arranging windows on larger monitors – drag a window to the left or right side of the screen and it will be resized to use half the monitor (or drag to the top to maximize). The most obvious use of this is to drag one window to the left and one to the right to quickly get 2 side by side windows.

My question is, even on a 1920×1200 screen the width of a split window is not enough for many applications – in particular web pages tend to be designed for 1024×768 and up. Is there a way (registry?) to change the split between left and right? So that a window dragged to the left will be resized to 60% of the screen, and one to the right will occupy 40%?

Best Answer

There is a program called WinSplit Revolution that will allow you to move and resize windows with preset sizes. You use hotkeys to move them.
