how to disable annoying feature

When moving around application windows, they get maximized when touching the
edge of the screen. This is very annoying. If I want to maximize an app the
old "maximize icon" on the upper right corner is sufficient for me.

How can I disable this annoying automatic feature?

Called Snap (part of Aero theme).

Thanks for putting me on the track.
"how your mouse works"...
Gosh, this was really hard to find in the optios jungle.
But I did it!
Hope I'll never have to dig this out in future...
Running to the other computer to repeat this, while still in my mind :-)
What a relief.

BTW actually it's not the snap feature I despise, but the maximizing of
windows.
So now I have both disabled at the time...

I disabled Aero on my machines a long time ago and solved a bunch of annoyances.

That's what snap does. It snaps the window to the side of the screen to
which you dragged it AND it sizes the window to half the screen.
Dragging the window to the top of the screen then maximizes the window
(same as using the Maximize control in the titlebar of the window).

It also mentions the Win+key shortcuts for snapping and restoring.

Devil's Advocate Position: Learn to live with it by training your lower
brain stem not to drag all the way up.

It was driving me nuts.... and I looked up/applied the registry
workaround... but after about my third re-image, I got tired of doing
that and eventually, I found myself not provoking it anymore.

You're accepting to limit your working space?
I'm used to moving windows out of the way half way under the edge when
needed, without spooky things happening automatically.

So you gave up? How about vanguards procedure?
BTW I find the snap feature (invisible grid) for the desktop icons very
handy. But without automatic sorting.

You can still move your windows out of the way, including partially
off-screen. Nothing happens unless/until your mouse pointer bangs into
the edge of the screen.

On my Windows-7 box the fullscreen thing only happens when I move the
top of window to the top of the monitor. i.e. I can slide a window
halfway off the monitor by moving it downwards or to one side with no
problems.

If they were to snap to fullscreen when moved down or sideways, I would
call that a beeeeeeg problem and would not even think about trying to
live with it.
