TXMouse causes random programs to crash when closing TXMouse.
Hi, I like what you're working on and I wonder if you might be able to help out with an annoying quirk I can't find a solution for.
I have set the Taskbar to 'always combine', which gives me the preview thumbnails for applications when you hover over them, but you still have to click on them to switch to the window you want, like this-

Is there any way to set the Taskbar up so that when you move your mouse over the thumbnail, after a set period of time the focus just selects that window? It'd save me the extra click
Thanks in advance, gents!

One thing I noticed is with RDP A LOT of the features won't work. This is super annoying. Anyway to get around this?

Um, care to qualify that statement?
NM, I see what you mean now. Grimmy exported the entire key instead of just that one setting.
I'll fix it in a second.
Anyone have the default value ?Step #1:
Open regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Edit UserPreferenceMask value to be 9F 3E 07 80 12 00 00 00
Step #2:
Also in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Edit ActiveWndTrkTimeout, change 'Base' to Decimal and put in 150 as the 'Value Data'
Cause it wasn't exactly that for me :
The 3e wasn't a 3e."UserPreferencesMask"=hex:9e,3e,07,80,12,00,00,00
OK, Mr. Grim's post has been fixed. The new reg codes, that I uplodaded, only change those two keys as referenced by gabeforprez - everything else will not be changed as it exists on your system.
The issue I'm having is that when in Explorer, I can't use the scroll wheel when moving from the folder pane to the file pane without FIRST clicking somewhere in the file pane. Years ago I had a mouse driver that allows that and haven't seen that functionality for quite a while now. If anyone knows how to get the scroll wheel to work by placing the cursor within the pane (without having to click inside of that pane), please share how it's done. I miss that functionality!
FYI, the functionality I'm looking for in Explorer does work in Thunderbird. Clicking on a folder, I can hover over the emails list pane and begin scrolling that window with the wheel without having to click somewhere within it first.
