Microsoft Windows 95
Microsoft Plus! For Windows 95

SUMMARY

Although you enable the Show Window Contents While Dragging feature, it does not work for all programs.

MORE INFORMATION

Many programs simulate window dragging by drawing a ghost rectangle and then moving the window when the mouse button is released. These programs bypass the code that implements the Show Windows Contents While Dragging feature and continue to function as they were originally written.
