I have recently installed Windows 8. But now in Windows 7, when I move windows, a line depicting the outline of the window shows the current position of the screen when dragging them. This is not like earlier, when the entire windows used to move. I really don’t like the way it looks now. Can anyone please help me?

I accidentally moved a pane in LibreOffice from it's nice docked position to a new window. Now I can't move back it.    As you can see, the Slide Pane is floating as it's own window and not docked like Tasks, etc.

How can I widen the Windows 7 command prompt window?   It's fixed at 80 columns in width and dragging the window edges won't let me make it any bigger than that.

I was looking at the task manager in Windows 10 and for the first time noticed a secondary dashed line below the solid? What does this line indicate?

In most Linux window managers, one can use the Alt key while clicking and dragging to rearrange windows. This is one of my favorite features of Linux window managers.  Is there a way to do this in Windows 7?

I have accidentally pressed some key combination that enabled a feature that I cannot turn off and cannot name. The visible desktop area I see on monitor is enlarged and as I move the cursor, the visible area moves with it. I do not see the whole desktop, only a part of it. How can I turn this off, whatever it is? Inside accessibility, the screen reader is turned off, it is something else.

So, I've noticed when you render something in version 2.8, it automatically opens a new window, and renders it on that.  What I want to know is this:  Is there anything special about this window, and is there a way to set it so that it renders it in the original window, like it did in version 2.79?

I find this beyond frustrating.  I have two extra screens on my laptop at work. I take my laptop and go home, with no extra screens connected. I come back, dock the laptop, and the windows need to be rearranged again.  Is there a way to get windows (or a utility) to keep track of the overall screen configuration (#, size, resolution), and remember where windows were placed, so when the screen configuration matches again, it puts applications BACK where they were?

In Windows 7, I know you can do Windows + Left to put a window in the left half of the screen.  Is there a feature that will do top and bottom?

I have installed two versions of Windows, Windows 7 and Windows 8. At the beginning it showed both entries and I could select which one to use (either Windows 7 or 8), but since 3 weeks this menu doesn't not show in my laptop. When I turn on the laptop it goes directly to Windows 7 which is the default one.  What can I do to make this menu appear again?

I'm looking for a way to use a keyboard shortcut to minimize all the windows on the monitor that currently has my mouse on it. I found this page:  but that appears to be hardcoded to minimize windows on a specific monitor, rather than the active monitor. Plus, I have no idea how to compile that code (not a VB coder). Anybody know a way that I can make this happen? I'm on Windows 7 ultimate, 3 monitors.

In FF, I can move a tab to a new window by either dragging the tab out of the browser, or right clicking the "move to New window" option from the context menu. is there a shortcut key to move the current tab to a new window without dragging or using the context menu, or a way to set one up?  Often, I like to look at 2 tabs side by side, so I drag one out, then hit WINDOWS KEY+→ to put the detached tab on the right, then ALT+TAB to tab back to the main window, then WINDOWS KEY+← to put the main window on the left. It would be great if I could do the whole process on the keyboard.  I checked  documentation and did not find any shortcut key for detaching a tab:

Is there a Windows utility that keeps a record of the size and position of all active windows for later retrieval?  For example, if I have my text editor and web browser open side-by-side, and then open Outlook full screen, I'd like a keyboard shortcut to quickly switch back to the editor/browser configuration.  I'm thinking of something like Emacs's .  Does such a thing exist?

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and I'm having some weird behavior. In Windows Explorer, I'm viewing a directory with lots of sub-directories in "Details" view. I'm scrolled down a bit (see 1st screenshot).    I enter a sub-directory (in this case, KDiff3) via double-click, then navigate back via the back button. Now, Windows Explorer has forgotten its original vertical scroll position. It's still highlighting the sub-directory I just came from, but now it's scrolled so that that sub-directory is all the way down (see 2nd screenshot).    I've never experienced this behavior before and it's a bit of a pain. Does anybody know how to fix this?

In Windows 8, when Alt+Tab, the desktop would appear as an option to switch to at the end of the list of open programs (thus Alt-Shift-Tab helpfully took you right to the desktop).  In Windows 10 that desktop option is gone. Is there any way to get it back?  I know about Windows+D but Alt+Tab is just more convenient in my opinion. And  also has no desktop and is uglier.

Windows 7 has a new "Show Desktop" button all the way at the edge of the system tray area. Is there any way to get rid of it?  I never use it because I just press Win+D instead, and it's kind of annoying to me.

Is there a way to change the default drag and drop behavior in Windows 7?   As of now it seems that if the location is on the same drive it'll move onto the other, otherwise if they are in different drives it'll copy.   Is there a way to change the setting so it'll always copy it?
