When enabled, this setting will cause Windows to display the current contents of a window while it is being dragged around the screen instead of just displaying the window outline.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new string value named 'DragFullWindows', or modify the existing value, to equal '1' for enabled, or '0' for disabled.

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
DragFullWindows	REG_SZ	"1"


	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Settings:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
Name: DragFullWindows
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value: (0=disable, 1=enable)
