aerowindowswindows 7
I have some windows that use up a bunch of horizontal space on my monitor. Prior to Windows 7, I could drag the window to the very top so that there would be only a sliver of the title bar remaining.
With Windows 7, every time I try to put some of the title bar above the top of the screen, it will automatically shift it downwards, or it will have the annoying "full-screen" effect.
Is there any way to disable these two behaviors?
You cannot, Dan.
I do agree however that the "maximize" snap has got in the way a few times with my usual window dragging and such operations.
I can't seem to be able to locate it right now (which is a shame, since I would like to provide you with the link). But the "maximize" Aero-Snap feature has already been criticized by more than a handful of users across TechNet and MSDN forums. It's very likely Microsoft will introduce changes to this. At best allow for selective Aero-Snap features, which is something that has also been asked for other reasons.
When TweetDeck is open, right-click its icon on the taskbar while pressing the Shift key.
The standard Windows system menu with "Move", "Size", "Maximize", ... will open.
Select "Move" and move the window down by pressing a few times the Down arrow.

You're referring to "Aero Snap". Our very own how-to geek has an article on disabling it here.
