Aeroshake gives you the ability to minimize all open windows with the exception of the currently selected window, just by grabbing it by the caption bar and giving it a shake. I hate it.
Some people don’t mind it, and use it regularly, claiming that by minimizing the extra windows, there is less distraction from the task at hand.
I think that if you are that easily distracted from your current task, you might need to take a break from the keyboard, and go watch a sunset.
With all that said, you can easily disable the Aeroshake feature, with a simply registry change.
- Click Start
- In the Search field, type regedit and press Enter.
- Navigate to the folloiwng key folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
- On the right pane, right-click and from the menu, select New DWORD (32-bit).
- Name the new key DisallowShaking
- Set its value to 1.
- Click OK.
