Hi all,
I encounter the problem as well.
Scanning the registry, I can find the following:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\DragFullWindows = 1
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows\DefaultApplied = 1
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows\CheckedValue = 1
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows\DefaultValue = 1
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows\UncheckedValue = 0
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\win.ini\Windows\DragFullWindows = "USR:Control Panel\Desktop"
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows\CheckedValue = 1
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows\DefaultValue = 1
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows\UncheckedValue = 0
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\win.ini\Windows\DragFullWindows = "USR:Control Panel\Desktop"
- HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\DragFullWindows = 1
- HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Control Panel\Desktop\DragFullWindows = 1
- HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Control Panel\Desktop\DragFullWindows = 1
- HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Control Panel\Desktop\DragFullWindows = 1
- HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-640145101-3638596770-251754213-1001\Control Panel\Desktop\DragFullWindows = 1
- HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-640145101-3638596770-251754213-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows\DefaultApplied = 1
- HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-640145101-3638596770-251754213-1002\Control Panel\Desktop\DragFullWindows = 1
- HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-640145101-3638596770-251754213-1002\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows\DefaultApplied = 1
Furthermore, in Control Panel / System and Safety / System / Advanced System Parameters / Performance ("Parameters" button), I selected "Adjust to obtain best appearance", which results in ticking all checkboxes.
However, repeatedly on each boot and even on each session restart, (except some rare "lucky" boots) the system "forgets" to take the
"Show windows contents while dragging" option into account, though it is ticked. I have to select "Adjust to obtain best performance", then back "Adjust to obtain best appearance", then click either "Apply" or "OK" to have DragFullWindows actually working. I found no solution so far. Puzzling, isn't it?
Thanks a lot to anybody having a solution
