Windows window 'focus'

Post by JPG »

In XP(pro) I was able to cause focus to occur automatically(no click) when hovering over a window. I may have used regedit or that 'tools' application.

Anyone know how to do that with W7?

Open Control Panel.
Open Ease of Access Center.
Click 'Make the mouse easier to use'
Check the option 'Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse' and click OK. :D

Thank You!!!

They hid that from me pretty well. Those words 'Let windows suggest settings' prevented me from even looking there!
