I am continually clicking on items and getting two selections instead of
one. A good example is scrolling through a file. I do it two lines at a
time instead of one. The problem is that I take a long period between
depressing and releasing the mouse button, and Win'XP is set for a very
short period.
I've been told that the proper adjustment is "Control Panel>Mouse>Double
Click Speed". But changing this control over its full range produces no
discernable change in the behavior of clicking on items.
Changing the value "Control Panel>Mouse>Double Click Speed" does indeed
change a value called "DoubleClickSpeed" in the Registry. It changes it
over the range 200-900. Going into the registry and artificially setting
the value of "DoubleClickSpeed" to either 0 or 3000 also produces no
discernable change in the behavior of clicking on items.
Is there anyway of increasing the detection period in Win'XP? "Control
Panel>Mouse>Double Click Speed" is not the proper adjustment.
