the problem: I have to use win7 currently, but I want to use Umbrello UML. Now I have installed the KDE for Windows port and the tool is running. But if there high dialogs poping up or other windows that are not resizeable it could happen that I do not reach the bottom buttons because it is out of scree.
Even if I disabled the window snapping via mouse, I cannot move the window over the top border of the desktop to reach the bottom bar. It is always snapping back to the visible area.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Finally found a workaround: http://code.google.com/p/altdrag/ is working great. Now I am able to move the window like I want to.

When you hover the mouse over taskbar buttons in Win10 you get a preview of that Window in a flyout. However if I start my program minimized it shows a generic icon (if I then restore it, the preview is updated and works minimized or not - so on startup is the key).
How do I have it show what the window will look like when restored or set my own image to use so this doesn't happen? It's okay if my own image is the only one that ever shows. I wouldn't mind disabling the preview on the flyout either (I do need the flyout because I use use toobar buttons on it).
I see ITaskbarList3::SetThumbnailClip() but that would have the same issue.
TIA!!
Found this is controlled by the DWM (Desktop Window Manager) via dwmapi. Examples of use is here
I'm developing an application for the game window but I encounter a strange issue. About 5% of users have different top window panels of the game. In the attachment, you can see the normal window panel and Incorrect (different) version. Every user uses Windows 10 and has the same version of the game application. I'm not sure but on the right side of the incorrect window panel, there is some old-styled leftover (kind of) off minimize/fullscreen/exit buttons. Does anyone know what may cause this strange problem? Maybe they need to change some windows settings, so their game window will look like a Normal window panel?

Sometimes when dragging a window around on the Windows 7 desktop, all of my other open windows will suddenly minimize. I can go to the task bar and reopen them, one by one, but is there a way to get them all back at once? And is there a way to turn off this annoying behaviour?
Thanks.
That will be Aero Shake.
You can shake the window that you were moving and your windows will be restored.
You can also disable Aero Shake, following instructions here:
Go to Run (Windows+R) and type gpedit.msc
Navigate to User configuration > Administratives Templates > Desktop
Search for "Turn off Aero Shake window minimizing mouse gesture" and enable the policy.
If you shake a window (left-right rapidly or another direction) then it minimizes all windows except that one. To get them back, shake the first window again.
This is what worked for me.
Open Windows Explorer.
Maximize and close it with Shift pressed.
Windows Explorer should open maximized.
Photoshop CS2 always stay on top, even when I click another app from the windows taskbar (right of the start button).
It's completly annoying me. Always need minimized, click the other app, reclick again on photoshop, re-reminimized.
I only have 1 screen at work so I can't let photoshop on one screen and work with the other app on the other screen.
I look in all photoshop menu, find nothing
I googled the problem, and find a adobe page explain this problem is a "feature".
I only want photoshop cs2 work all other app on windows and loose focus, let new app appear on top.
Thank you.
I had this problem and somehow solved it. But my solution may be just as fickle as why the problem occurs in the first place. But here's what I did:
On the layers palette (F7) I clicked on the small arrow just below the close "X" button, on the right. Then I selected "Pallete Options"
Didn't change any options but just clicked OK.
Now the entire window remained on top, not just the palettes. So I restarted Photoshop and it seemed to fix the issue.
I found that if you open up "edit > preferences > Memory & Image Cache" and set your memory usage up then it will fix it. I am on a Windows 10.
See this post:

I literally JUST found this on accident and fixed it after having issues with all my toolbars being hidden behind stuff, and not being able to minimize without clicking on the PS window first etc. Seems to have worked!

I am having same issue with CS2 on Windows 7 64 bit. To work around, I hit tab on keyboard when photoshop window is active, that makes all pallets invisible, then I can switch to any window I need to work on.
As per this article there seem to be issue with Microsoft update https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2142314
I have 3 monitors with the center monitor being the primary one. When I start VB6 everything works fine on the center and right monitor, but if I maximize the window on the left monitor my scroll wheel (which uses the VB6 mouse wheel fix) and Ctrl+F for the Find window stop working and continue to not work until I drag the window so most of it is on the center monitor. I have not had any issues with any other programs. Any fix for this?
I haven't personally seen the issues you have with a specific monitor not working, but for me (and my Logitech mouse), I have tried the VB6 mouse wheel fix you mentioned and it didn't work.
Instead, I had to use Wheeler. Check out the link for the full description, but the bottom line is it's the only thing that helps me use the mousewheel in the VB6 IDE on any monitor.
