    Disabling automatic window resizing


    This is probably a simple thing to do, but maybe I missed it.

    I have two monitors, each with a large screen. I often move a window from one to the other. If I place it near the top of the screen, Windows happily expands it to fill the whole screen, something I'd rather not have happen.

    How do I disable this function?

    I think this is what you are looking for:
