window arrangement in Windows 7
Windows 7 features interesting new ways to intelligently arrange your windows, so that (for example) if you drag a window to the top of the screen then it will maximise. We like the new system, but if you find it distracting then it's easily disabled.
Open Run Window
Type REGEDIT, to open registry editer.
Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER >>> Control Panel >>> Desktop
Set WindowArrangementActive to 0.
Reboot, and your windows will behave just as they always did.

When you schedule CHKDSK to run at the next boot, the system will prompt you to press a key to cancel the operation while CHKDSK is running. The system will display a countdown during that cancel period.
The default value is 10 seconds.
To Change this open up Regedit and locate:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\AutoChkTimeOut
You can change the value to anything from zero to 259,200 seconds (3 days). With a timeout of zero, there is no countdown and you cannot cancel the operation.

If you are a system administrator on a network who wants to ensure that no user can skip disk checking, so set the countdown to zero. Or you can play a little prank with your friend by increasing the countdown time on his computer.
