How to control Windows 7 snap feature with two monitors?

I have a dual monitor setup at work. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, and I would like to take advantage of the docking feature, whereby you can drag a window to the side of the monitor and have it expand and fill to half the screen. Trouble is, I would like to drag it to the inside edge(adjoining the other screen) and it does not activate.

How would I go about activating this for the inside edge?

Answer 1

This behavior is by design.

On a dual monitor setup, the inside edges where the 2 monitors meet must be transparent for the 'snap' feature when dragging windows. If it were not transparent, you would not be able to drag anything from one monitor to the other monitor.

They thought that would be jarring experience. But you can do it with the keyboard:

Click whatever program you want to dock, then press Windows+Arrow (right or left).

Answer 2

In addition to using the windows+arrow keys, I highly suggest trying out GridMove. It's a fantastic window management program if you have multiple monitors (or even one large one).

Answer 3

Since i can't edit questions on SU.com, i'll post my question addendum here:

Notice the "edge" on the left side of the primary monitor, as well as on the top, right, and bottom of the primary monitor.

It's a bug that i caught immediately in RC, that's still in RTM.
