    Unmaximizing window by dragging taskbar (Ubuntu-like behavior)


    Hello everyone. Recently, I've been using Ubuntu on my laptop and I've gotten used to it's topbar in the way that it unmaximizes the window just by dragging from it. So, is there a tweak that can make this possible in Windows 7? Thanks.

I cannot for the life of me work out how to do this on 7! Driving me mad... In XP / Vista it's as easy as right click, properties, advanced settings under where you change the Window colour etc then untick the box which says 'Show Window's contents whilst dragging' at least I think that's right!...
