How to prevent mouse from selecting text?
Over the past week or two I find that when I try to place the mouse cursor at a certain point in a text, the word, or sometimes whole line, is highlighted; not every time, but often. In open windows, after renaming files or other such actions, the mouse cursor then draws blue rectangles as I move it around until I left click to clear it, as if the right mouse button is pressed (which it isn't). This happens in open windows, in my browser, in Word documents.... not specific to any one programme
I tried changing the value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\DragWidth but this made no difference. I changed the mouse - again, to no avail.
Can anyone help with fixing this? Seems as if Windows is thinking I am double or triple clicking, when I am not,,,
Many thanks,
Martin
