Koppla Windows, genom att sväva musen över ett fönster i Windows 7 eller utsikt
Detta är inte för alla, men du kan möjliggöra ett musfunktionsläge i Windows 7 eller utsikt, var sväva precis över ett fönster med den ska musen, kopplar till det fönster. I de gammala dagarna kallas möjliggj橬一j detta van vid det XWindows funktionsläget och till och med TweakUI, men nu har den byggt rätt in i kontrollbordet för att alla ska använda.
För att vända på denna inställning, fungerar rättvis typ ”mus” in i sökandet boxas i kontrollbordet, och du bör se ett objekt som kallas ”för att ändra hur din mus fungerar”.
I detta avskärma, besegrar finner snirkeln och checkboxen för ”aktiverar ett fönster, genom att sväva över den med musen”.
Det är nätt mycket det. Det ska taken ett tag för att få van vid det nya funktionsläget… minns precis, musen måste att svävas över bästa av något fönster för att koppla fokuserar till det.

I knew I’d seen this setting somewhere… This feature is more useful than you’d think – especially when you’re using multiple monitors running full-screen programs.
Worked for me! Thanks!
Linux has had this for ages, thank you MS, for making a stable OS with it!
I don’t have the option selected to “Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse” but it still does it!!!
It’s driving me nuts. Anyone know how to fix this??
System restore, checking the box, clicking OK, then unchecking, or just wait – mine did it for a while, then stopped for no apparent reason.
Vista!
I must be really dense here. If you have to hover over the top of the window to make this work, why not just click on the title bar and be done with it?
What if I don’t want it to raise the window? I just want it to get focus, not focus and raise it.
And is there any way to adjust the delay?
Using Windows 7 btw, and the procedure is the same as in Vista. At least for the activation of the Ease of Access Center.
Spacegold: Some of us just want to move the mouse over the window and be ready to write without having to click, clicking the window raises it, and that’s not the point. At least not for me. Even if I have three monitors at 2048×1536 I still clutter up my desktop with windows covering each other..
I totally agree with Perry. I want to give the window focus only, not raise it. That’s the way XWindows worked in TweakUI. Adjusting the delay would be nice also. Has anyone found a resolution to this?
Hi Roger.. I have found a solution for this, at least for my own usage..
Check out this one: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/nt/TXMouse/
It works just like the Xmouse in Linux/Unix with the copy on select text and all that as well. Together with lowering windows by right clicking the toolbar. No way I’m going back to normal Windows(TM) mouse functions..
Awesome! I have to use a PC at my new job and and anything I can do to make it work like my beloved Mac at home is greatly appreciated.
Note to PC retardos like myself: You have to be in “Control Panel Home” and not “Classic View” for the search to return a result.
Perry, Thank you for pointing me to TXMouse. I used to be a Unix admin & came to rely on the abilities given by a true XMouse. I have used the TweakUI XMouse for years on XP, but always considered it a partial solution at best because clicking inside a window still brought it to the top even if all I wanted was to copy a small piece of text for paste elsewhere. After going to Vista & using the above control panel solution I felt even more function go missing. I had to disable the Vista “solution” before I got full funtion back, but TXMouse is awesome!
I strongly endose this for anyone who wants real XMouse funtionality!
Hey guys, I played with TXMouse and found it to be a poor replacement for the options TweakUI offers. I hate having a delay in focusing windows and I REALLY hate the bring to the front that the Windows 7 checkbox gives you.
For those of you who love to have your mouse cursor autofocus on the window it’s hovering over with NO delay and being able to click anywhere on a window to bring it to the foreground, this is for you!
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
You should only have to modify the first pair.
Step #2:
In the same place in regedit, edit ‘ActiveWndTrkTimeout’, change ‘Base’ to Decimal and put in 0 as the ‘Value Data’
Step #3:
Log off and log back in
Step #4:
Bask in the glory of your instant autofocus that doesn’t bring the window to the foreground, doesnt force you to click on the title bar or frame of a window to bring to front, and most importantly, DOESN’T SUCK or force you to use 3rd party application!!
Hopefully someone else finds this as useful as I did!
To unpaidbill:
My compliments. Joy abounds. I’m a retired Unix Admin of many years and this feature has been sorely missed on my Vista systems.
The registry fix works – window focus shifts instantly and windows (in focus) do NOT pop to the top of the view.
Thanks!
@unpaidbill: The registry tweek worked great — it’s exactly what I was looking for! However, I seem to be getting one negative side effect — I can’t access my hidden toolbar items any longer because the box containing them disappears as soon as I move my mouse to it from the toolbar.
Set ‘ActiveWndTrkTimeout’ to 50 rather than 0, it’s instant enough that you wont notice, but slow enough to let you get at the hidden systray icons.
In linuc, if you select something like a line of text, it will automatically put that selection in the clipboard so you can middle click and paste it. Is there a way to turn that on in windows vista or 7?
