    Windows 7 Stop Cascading/Staggering

    When I open a window (let's say Firefox for example) then open a second Firefox window, the second window appears about a centimeter to the right of the first one. For certain tasks I do, this is quite annoying. How can I make Windows open instances directly on top of one another?

    Windows 7 (or maybe my new laptop?) is giving me lots of trouble when I try to stretch a window. There are two problems: 1 - Sometimes when I grab an edge I end up moving the whole window. I believe in earlier Windows versions you had to click on the top section of the window to drag it...
