Show window contents while dragging

[Footer]

OS: WinXP Home w/SP1

Problem: The setting for "Show window contents while
dragging" won't stick after the machine is rebooted.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Yup! It's a fairly new Dell machine (12/03). It's got
the Dell Media Experience on it as well ... So is that
what's causing this setting not to stick? And if so, how
in the H#$@*&^L do you fix it???

Thanks!

Is a program I wrote for someone like you (a dell consumer). Put it in =
the Startup folder on Start. If you can't see anything in OE go to =
Tools/Folder Options/Security and uncheck Do not allow=20

Thanks much David!!! I'll give it a try. This has been
a mystery to me since I've owned this machine. But
thanks to you, the mystery has now been solved! Dell
shouldn't take such liberties if you ask me ... Oh well.

Thanks again!

What does it do this program (I delete dell's hard disks as soon as they =
arrive and reinstall XP clean) do? Drag Full Windows can tax some video =
cards.
