Hello Andriy, and welcome to Seven Forums.

That is the free 3rd party program RocketDock at the top of the screenshots.

Does anyone know how to disable aero snap on specific window programmatically? i don't want to disable aero snap to all windows

**Mark** · 02-15-2009

Sorry I think it would have to be all or nothing, what window would you need to disable it on anyway?

Hi Grim,
I have a application that must keep aspect ratio,
I like to disable this aero snap which stretches my window.
besides, i like also to disable animation that when window docks to left/right/top of screen.
I found MCE on Windows 7 disable aero snap.

Hi Shawn,

I tried these settings in the Ease of Access Center and logging off an back on and also restarting but they do not remained checked for me.

I actually found the registry entry for Aero Snap.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowArrangementActive

Aero Snap enabled 1
Aero Snap disabled 0

Setting to 0 in the registry checked it in all three places in the ease of access center and remained that way. I don't know if just the checking in the EOA not remaining checked is a problem that just I have.

Not sure why either Aaron .

Registry added to tutorial to help others with the same problem. Thank you.
