    snap


    A minor thing I know, but when I drag a window to the bottom of the screen it does not snap to full height like it supposed to do.

    Dragging to the bottom isn't supposed to do anything. Snap works with top, left and right.

    Windows 7: How to use Aero Shake, Aero Snap and Aero Peek - Coolbuster


    This link tells that the bottom snap is supposed to do the same as the top. If you have a window open [not full screen] it is supposed to make it full height. I thought I tried this when I first installed 7 and it worked, but now I cant seem to get it to work

    Dont even worry about that, just hold down the windows key and then use the arrows; up. down, left or right.

    Hi 7up,

    Here's the exact quote from the website you read:

    Dragging a window to touch the top or bottom edge of the screen maximizes it to full height while retaining its width; or pull it off and the window returns to its original height.
    It's poorly worded, but the "dragging" here does not mean click-and-drag the entire window using its title bar - it means click-and-drag the top or bottom edge of the window until it touches the top of the screen or the Taskbar, respectively. In other words, click-and-drag when your cursor turns into an up-down arrow.

    Hope that works...
