No previous message | Next message →
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?

double click speed is still in the control panel > mouse > buttons (tab) >
double click speed
also, not quite related, but i also have my "show location" option set so
that i can hit ctrl anytime i lose where my mouse is pointing to (easy to
happen with large monitors). hitting ctrl causes concentric circles to
converge on your mouse location. control panel > mouse > pointer options
(tab) > "show location of pointer when i press the ctrl key"
