mouse double click distance

Back in the days before windows 2000 there was a setting for the mouse that
if you double clicked with in x pixels of the first click it would count as
a valid double click. This was for people with hand tremors. My mother
would try to double click and end up moving icons around the desktop. After
this setting, things were better for a while, eventually taught her to
click once then hit enter.
Can't seem to find that mouse setting? Did I dream it?
