Most of the Windows 7 users are familiar with Windows 7 Aero Shake feature. For those who don’t know or have never used Aero Shake- you can use Shake to quickly minimize every open window except the one you’re shaking.

This feature can save you time if you want to focus on a single window without minimizing all your other open windows one by one. You can then restore all of those windows by shaking the open window again.

1. Type in gpedit.msc in Start menu search field and hit enter.

    Why would you be shaking a window if not to use the feature? I you felt the need to disable it, you probably wouldn’t know it was there in the first place!
