I have a problem with my keypad mouse.

When I point at an item it opens it even when I do not click.
Also sometimes when I scroll over text it highlights the text.
I do not want either of these things to happen.
I want to open an item only when I click on it and I do not want to
highlight text when I scroll over it.

What’s up?

If you have TweakUI installed: Got to the "Mouse" section and
disable x-Mouse.
If you don't have TweakUI, run the registry edit on line 171 here:

Hi TG,

When you say 'keypad' mouse, are you referring to the accessibility
option that allows you to set the numeric keypad to control the
mouse or are you talking about a touchpad like is on most laptops or
some desktop keyboards?

If you are talking about a touchpad, then all you need to do is turn
'tapping' off and use the touchpad buttons for actual selection.

Theoretically you could set the touchpad sensitivity and leave
'tapping' on but I have always found it unreliable because I don't
always use the same amount of pressure when I am using the touchpad.
