I run a dual monitor system on my work computer. I often have 5+ windows open gathering data from different web sites. Working in Word and Excel at the same time, etc. Constantly finding myself typing in one window while I am think I am in another. I click on the data site to scroll down, move the mouse back to the Spread Sheet and start typing. Not thinking I just made the other window active. I kept wishing there was a simple way to make the window active that mouse was over.
Well there is! X-Mouse. It's a registry in Windows and I always hate to mess in the Registry. Keep Googleing and reading and discovered an old friend again. TweakUI, a Windows program (by MS) that allows you to make tweaks to the registry simply and safely. One of the options was X-mouse! Never noticed it before, probably because I didn't need it. In just a couple of minutes I have it installed and set the X-mouse control to on. Now when my cursor is on a window it is active. Gosh I love it!
OK, maybe I am the only one that can get excited about this, but this is going to save me so much annoyance! And I learned about it annoyances.org
