I'd forgotten about this piece of advice until I was looking up some old computer info in my blog.
Turn Off Automatic Window Resizing and Docking in Windows 7
Microsoft made a big deal about this new feature, but not everybody wants it. Turning it off is surprisingly simple–though finding the ‘off switch’ isn’t.

Funny… I love that feature, but it's sorely lacking. If you have one or more large monitors, I highly recommend http://maxto.net/ – it improves the docking feature by letting you customize your own regions.
+Al Hunt I can count on the fingers of one hand times when I was glad that Windows actually modified my windows without my telling it to; more often it's a matter of my trying to push windows out of the way or arrange one so I can see another underneath it and NO WAIT WHAT DID YOU DO WINDOWS?!
I'll stick to the onerous task of clicking that little "maximize" button when I need to, y'know, maximize a window. 🙂
And Pluto's still a planet! And get off my damn lawn!
