Hi

Open Control Panel / System. Select Advanced System Settings.

In the Performance section, select the Settings Button.

The 'Show window contents while dragging' is the option. Enable this setting to show the entire window and disable this setting to see the outline.

Hope this helps.

Thank You for using Windows 7

Hiya

This kind of helped, thank you, but I had to uncheck the box, click apply, then check it again and click apply.

I had been using Remote Desktop Connection which had stolen my show-contents-while dragging...

Cheers
