One of the things that continues to drive me mad in Win 7 is
that pushing the pointer to the edge/top/bottom of the
screen causes the window being manoevred to maximise.

Anyone know any way to tuen this off, please?

Select: Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to
the edge of the screen.

Or don't drag windows right to the edge. ;-)
