One of my programs seems to be changing the Display Properties > Appearance > Effects > Show window contents while dragging setting to off every few hours.

I’m not sure exactly which program, or when it happens. I have a number of programs that seem like likely culprits – wallpaper rotators, software for multiple monitors, multiple virual desktops and switching, and a few others.

I am just thinking to create a little batch script to run periodically and set the setting back to on.

Does anyone know how to do this in windows? I’m using xp pro sp3.

Thanks!

    You can use RegMon to find the program that keeps changing your settings. Maybe that’s a better start than hacking around it.
