x windows tweak ?

[Tim]

With TweakUI you could set an x windows like effect, i.e., a window took
"focus" or was "brought to front" when the mouse cursor hovered over it...
any way to do this in Vista ? Can't seem to find it...

In the registry, under the key:

'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop'

you want to edit the value named 'UserPreferencesMask'

Perform a bitwise AND on the first byte, most likely '9e', with '41' and
replace '9e' with the result -- in this case 'df'

ie:
9e 3e 07 80 12 00 00 00

becomes

df 3e 07 80 12 00 00 00

Logoff & back on for changes to take effect.
