MHz Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 A nice tweak. Perhaps a start for a tweak program. Note that all registry entries are for HKCU so #RequireAdmin is not needed. Use #RequireAdmin for when HKLM writes are needed. @spudw2k AFAIK, Disabling Aero does not disable the parameter DragFullWindows which is to show/to not show window contents while dragging. Systems lacking graphics processing power can benefit much from this change.
