    "Restrict" Maximize Area


    Hi all,

    Does anyone know a way of "restricting" the maximize area? What I want to do is use the maximize button to make my windows fill a pre-defined area so that they don't overlap the dock and gadgets.

    Hope that makes sense. I don't believe it's possible without employing a 3rd party app - anyone know one?

    Cheers,

    Kev

    I don't think there is but you look at making your dock & gadgets setup as 'Always on Top'.

    Hope this helps :)

    Yeah but then they tend to get in the way.

    i've used them both on XP, and prefer the latter. no guarantees that they will play nicely with Windows 7 though.
