Disable Aero Shake in Windows 7



The idea of Aero Shake is to let us focusing our concentration on one window by minimizing other windows. You shake the window and the others will be minimized. Some of us probably like it but there are some others that don’t use it at all. If you don’t need it as well, you can disable Aero Shake easily through the Local Group Policy Editor.

How to Disable Aero Shake:

1. Open Run by pressing Win + R and type gpedit.msc. You can also type it in the Search box.
2. Navigate to User configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Desktop

4. Select Enabled, and hit the OK button.

You can always restore the Aero Shake function by opening the Local Group Policy Editor and select Disabled.

      Thanks for this tip. The shake feature has been actually very annoying to me and your advice did the trick.
