View Full Version : Show Windows contents while dragging
Phillip Shulman
June 2nd 04, 01:56 AM
I have been unable to get my new Dell Dimension 4600 to save the setting
"Show Windows Contents While Dragging". I have selected the check box
located by right clicking on the Desktop, selecting properties, going to the
Appearance tab and locating Show windows contents while dragging. As soon
as I reboot, the check box becomes blank and I have to set it again. This
was a Windows XP Home pc that was booted up once new, rebooted and upgraded
to Windows XP Pro w/Service Pack 1 before I installed the rest of the
Microsoft Updates and installed programs.
Is there a registry setting somewhere I can change to make this setting
permanent? I have looked through the Group Policy snap in and cant find
anything there either.
Thanks in advance for any help.
