Switch on "Show window contents while dragging"

Some software that I use always switches off the Windows option "Show window contents while dragging". That means that dragging a window just moves an outline, and the window only moves when you drop the outline. That's grim. You can switch this option in Control Panel. That's a bunch of clicks, and it'll get switched back later. Grr!

Siva Mulpuru knows enough Powershell to fix a similar setting (thanks, Google) so I borrowed that code and fixed it up to do what I wanted.

$setwindowsdragfull = @"
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
public class dragfixer
{
	[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
	private static extern int SystemParametersInfo (int uAction, int uParam, string lpvParam, int fuWinIni);
	public static void SetDragFullWindows ()
	{
		SystemParametersInfo( 0x0025, 1, "", 0x03 );
	}
}
"@
Add-Type -TypeDefinition $setwindowsdragfull
[dragfixer]::SetDragFullWindows()

Then I had to figure out how to run a Powershell script. This batch file seems to work.

\@powershell -executionpolicy bypass -File SetDragFullWindows.ps1

Then I can put an icon somewhere handy and click the annoyance away.

What's wrong with elections?

I posted before about what's wrong with elections. I think that I got it wrong. The real problem is the candidates (and therefore the selection process). Everyone in the world thinks it's mad to let Trump anywhere near an election, but Clinton's approval ratings are poor. So Americans will be choosing between the crazy bloke and the woman they dislike. WTF?

Less distressingly, in the last US presidential election straight people were split down the middle (if we believe the Wikipedia stats) so it was the gay, lesbian and bisexual vote that won Obama a second term.
