A. If you run the Desktop control panel applet (Start - Settings -Control Panel - Desktop) and select the Plus! tab you can check the box"Show window contents while dragging". This can also be done bydirectly editing the registry (if you don't have the Plus! tab or if you wishto perform via a logon script etc.)
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop
If a value DragFullWindows does not exist from the Edit menu select New -String Value, enter a name of "DragFullWindows" (don't type thequotes) and press enter
Double click the new value and set to 1. Set to 0 to disable. Click OK
Close the registry editor
To make the change take effect either logoff and then logon or reboot themachine.
