Was trying out a new piece of software today when I discovered a new keyboard shortcut in Windows 7. If you hold Ctrl+Win+Up, your window will automatically resize to half the height of your screen and move to the top.
The same thing works with the down key to move the window to the bottom of the screen. Watch out though, the window won’t snap back to the center of the screen like it does after using Win+Right or Win+Left, so you’ll have to resize it again manually.
UPDATE: I'm not entirely sure what was causing the size-changing, but the effect no longer seems to be ocurring. It may have been some piece of software that had been installed on my computer at the time. Ctrl+Win+Up does not seem to resize windows in any way.
