Show window contents while dragging

[Desperate Dan]

I have tried setting the "Show window contents while
dragging" option on in the Display Properties, but for
some reason it is always turned off the next time I logon.

What do I have to do to set this option on permanently? I
am logged on as a system administrator, but it just won't
retain that option for the next session.

I notice that the option is also present in System
Properties, where it is always set on, but Display
Properties seems to override it. Any help greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

Dan--

This regedit will get it done for you permanantly. You could always undo
the regedit if you want. Export the key and set a restore point first:

Thanks Chad. It turns out there is an application called
Dell Media Experience that always sets this option off.
I'm told the only solution is to uninstall the
application, but I really don't want to do that.

I think I'll try to write a script that sets the registry
key on and put the script in my startup folder. I just
have to research how to do that.

Thanks again.
