can you un-snap?

The Aero Snap feature - where you drag a window to left or right and it
snaps to half the screen - is potentially quite handy. But is there a
way to revert the window to its original size (and, in particular,
shape)? Especially if you've invoked snap by mistake.

Hit the maximum size button, then the reduced size button (same button,
different graphic).

Just double-click the title bar

Or click on the top bar and drag the window to the right and down and
the up.
Or right click the top bar and choose maximise.

Just drag it back away from the edge of the screen. It will revert to
pre-snap form.

Either double-clicking on the title bar or Windows-Right (or Left as
appropriate) Arrow will work. I generally find Windows-Arrow to be more
convenient that dragging anyway.

Sure: click in the title bar and drag it down a bit from the top of
the screen.

Thanks - 3 of 3!

Thanks to all who came back so swiftly, with a variety of answers (all
of which work)! Being a keyboard person, I'll probably use the last - I
hadn't realised win-right/left also worked to make the snap in the first
place, I'd thought that was only in the XP utility (from
http://pravin.insanitybegins.com/dev...r-xp-and-vista
) that does it (and _doesn't_ revert, it just switches the snap).

Sorry, they all seem so obvious once I've been told!
