Hello,

please, does this registry value apply for all programs and all windows?

Thanks,

Hello ~tEh'Pâr4d0x,

Yes, it is applied to all opened windows including program windows.

Hi, thanks for such a quick answer! I don't intend to bother you or in any way hijack this topic, so I will simply link here: http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/206870-xfire-chat-window-outline.html

I mean, I enabled content, it's showing, it's even working for this Xfire messenger window, but when I try to resize the Xfire chat-window, there it appears. It wasn't there a week ago, my PC once suddenly crashed and this started happening.

I tried to reinstall, but nothing helped. Xfire support claims, it is most likely some OS related error.

Weird..

Thanks anyway,
~tEh'Pâr4d0x

This seems more like some sort of issue with Xfire instead IMO since it is only happening with this program for you. I would suggest to keep contacting Xfire support to see if they may come out with a patch for it. If they wish to pass the buck and not help, then I would recommend that you pass the buck as well to another software company that cares about their product and customers.

Brifing,

Do you have a custom theme or program installed that could affect or also have settings for this?

For now, use the Find and Find Next feature in Registry Editor to search for the DragFullWindows string value, and make sure that any found is set to 1 for it's data. You may have one in the HKLM key that's overriding your setting in the HKCU key.

Dwarf · Jun 15, 2013

For the setting in the HKLM key, should it exist, you will need to invoke regedit.exe in Elevated mode.

Brink,
I have no a custom theme. the regedit value is same already. here it is? is that true?

but my problem is still existing.

Only if he's logged in as a standard user. He should be prompted by UAC to elevate by default when he opens regedit if logged in as an administrator.

That's correct for that location, but be sure to keep hitting "Find Next" until it's finished searching the registry to make sure that there is no other found.

brifing · Jun 16, 2013

brink,

yes, there are lots of regedit values(dragfullwindows) like this pic. But , I cannot understand, you said that make sure that. which one can be 'make sure'

))

Brink · Jun 16, 2013

You would want any found set to 1 to have the full window drag and not just an outline.

Normally, you would be setting any found DragFullWindows DWORD values in the right pane.

Any DragFullWindows keys you see in the left pane, you would only set the DefaultApplied DWORD to 1 in it's right pane. Otherwise, skip it and move on to any other it may find.

Hello!
I have the same problem: I have to uncheck-apply-recheck-apply again every time I start or login in this laptop (I have windows 8 64bit on ad Asus laptop, I bought it a couple weeks ago).
I've followed every step in this tutorial (performance settings, using the REG file and invoking regedit -using Find Next (there was no 0, every value was 1)) but the problem is still there!
I've tried looking elsewhere on the internet but I cannot find a solution...
Any ideas?
Thank you anyway!

Brink · Nov 1, 2013

Hello Fieromuso, and welcome to Seven Forums.

As a test, create a new user account, and see if it works properly while signed in to it to see if this is an issue with only your current account or a global issue in Windows 8.

Fieromuso · Nov 1, 2013

Uhm I did that and actually it works properly on the other account! :O
So, is there a software in this account that messes everythinh up?
