Click Lock

[CO2]

How do I go about turning off the click lock, on my mouse, when it's not
on my mouse properties? It's been driving me crazy for months.

Click-lock is a setting made possible by your mouse software, for
example: Microsoft Intellipoint or Logitech SetPoint.

Open Mouse Properties...
Start | Run | Type: main.cpl | Click OK |

On the Buttons tab, the last item on the bottom.

Turn on ClickLock
[[Locks a mouse or trackball button after a single-click, enabling you to
select or drag without continuously holding down the mouse button. Just
press and hold down any mouse or trackball button for a moment, and your
click is locked. With ClickLock you can drag objects, select blocks of text,
and open menus. Click again to release ClickLock. To adjust the amount of
time you need to hold down a mouse or trackball button before it locks,
click Settings. ]]

Settings button
[[Click to adjust how long you need to hold down a mouse or trackball button
before your click is locked. ]]

Settings for ClickLock
[[Move the slider to change the length of time you need to hold down a mouse
or trackball button before your click is locked. For example, increase the
ClickLock time if you find that your button locks in situations where you
intended to single-click.

To test your setting, move your pointer over the dialog box title bar, press
and hold down the primary mouse or trackball button for a moment, and then
move the dialog box. Click again to release ClickLock.]]

ClickLock enables you to select text or drag a file without having to
continuously hold down the mouse button.

That is where I was saying I couldn't find the click lock settings.
Here is what my 'mouse properties' (http://tinyurl.com/fvr6c) looks
like, under the button tab.

The Help feature just showed me how to change it through the Mouse
Properties, which still isn't there.

I'm wondering if there is a way I can change it, in the Registry.

Reinstall your mouse software.

I don't think reinstalling what I used, was going to work. I did get i
solved, though.
I ended up downloading and installing InteliPoint. Then I found th
ClickLock settings under the "Activities" tab.
