PSA:
If OPTION #1 is already in place the delay doesn't kick in until you restart (OKAY/APPLY) the feature in EAC. I was having an annoying time trying to figure out how to get the delay to work on my laptop. With the correct registry changes in place, logging off and/or rebooting was not enough for me.
Hello Rplum, and welcome to Seven Forums.
They are referring to the tutorial on the first page/post in this thread. At the bottom and top right corners of this webpage, you will see a "Page # of 6" box. You would just need to click on the "First" option to go to the first page. That's all.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
Thanks for this...edit the reg file item to "ActiveWndTrkTimeout" instead of "ActiveWndTrackTimeout" turn out fine. Previously, I am unable to click any thing in the "hidden" notification. I deleted the "ActiveWndTrackTimeout" from the reg. Well done and thanks.
The 9F 3E 07 80 12 00 00 00 code is for those that use Windows' (you have a decent enough computer system ) recommended default setting.
I've changed some of Windows' advanced settings:Type systempropertiesperformance in the start menu and hit enter.All of these advanced settings affect the above code. For example my UserPreferenceMask value with...
no Active Window Tracking, no Z-Order Activation
94 3C 03 80 12 00 00 00
Active Window Tracking, no Z-Order Activation
95 3C 03 80 12 00 00 00
Active Window Tracking, Z-Order Activation
D5 3C 03 80 12 00 00 00
Because I've un-check-marked menu fading, shadows under windows & smooth scrolling in list boxes.
Registry edit guide/tool for advanced system settings

Use the above tool to generate registry codes for your preferred setting. Go to the registry key in Option #3 of the original post HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. Change your UserPreferenceMask value to the one given by the above tool.
or
Simply set your custom advanced settings. Go to the registry key in Option #3 of the original post. Save your new default code.
- Add 1 hex to the first digit pair to get active window tracking without z-order activation.
- Add 41 to the first digit pair to get active window tracking with z-order activation.
Log Off ––> Log On and your done.
NOTE:
- Z-Order Activation does not work without Active Window Tracking. So adding 40 to the digits won't do anything.
- You will want to adjust the ActiveWndTrkTimeout value to something above zero. I use 333 ms in decimal = 0000014d in hex.

Just wondering,
Is it possible to apply method 3 (by modifying registry) without logging off ?
I wrote little piece in C#, which can enable or disable focus window on mouse over
and I would like to improve it. Maybe there is a way to enforce Windows System to apply focus window on mouse over by, i don't know, another changes in registry or calling some system functions in C# code.
Maybe someone can help? :)
Good old Option 3 is almost what I was looking for. When I go to click over to a window that's behind another, sometimes it opens and becomes foreground and active, but sometimes it becomes active without coming in front of other windows. If I click the title bar in that case, it comes to the front. I believe this ordering of windows is z-order, but I can't figure out what's actually creating that order. Is there a combination of settings that will allow this version: hovering switches control to the new window (so mouse scrolling works) but doesn't bring it to the front, AND clicking the window always brings it to front? My current settings don't achieve this. Thanks for your guidance!
Your halfway there. Use this for Win7 x64 to keep the windows from coming to the front when mousing over.

You may be able to scroll the window that your mouse is over.
If not you need this to scroll the moused over window without clicking the window.
Make sure it runs on startup.
