I set the hover time to 4000 and it at least minimizes it. Google said setting it to 0 would disable it, but then some tech alerts warn against doing that.
Thanks for all the responses.

Everything was set to single click instead of the normal double click for files, applications, etc..... Don't know why I remember that, or if its applicable here.

Any chance this is a mouse/touchpad driver feature? -sc From: Steve Kelsay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 10:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 7 Mouse Hover to Click Am I the only one that hates this feature? It seems like such a security nightmare, where users will hover over a popup to read it ,and the hover-click feature will automatically execute it. (Honest, I never downloaded that porn, it just clicked itself! And they are right. ) How to disable it? I see on Google lots about setting the hover time to 0, but there are warnings against doing that. What is the best way to disable this feature? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
