    Run shortcut when hovering over certain part of the desktop


    I'm really particular about the way I use my desktop and what I would like to do is force the network flyout to appear when I hover over the right edge of my monitor.

    Normally this flyout appears when you click the network connections icon in the tray but I am looking for a way to bypass clicking the icon. The end result should be the network connections flyout appearing with no mouse clicks or key presses.

    If it helps, I can simplify the request: I would like a piece of software that will allow me to perform custom functions based on whether or not I hover over a region of the desktop for a set amount of time.

    I could write this myself, but wanted to see if there was something lightweight already available.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello and welcome ssknight mate don't know about what you would like but one thing you can do is just keep it as an icon say in the top right hand corner of the desktop?
