disable the automatic function of left click in Vista

I bought my gateway computer already loaded with Vista Home Premium.  This version seems to have an auto-click program whereby I let automatically click on what either my mouse flies over.  I often find myself in places if I'm not constantly aware of the position.  I HATE THIS FEATURE (!), but I don't know how to disable it.  I can't find in Windows or the mouse settings or to search them. How can I get rid of auto-cliquer it?

Hello

If a mouse (or if you use a touch screen and a mouse)

Start - computer, or Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - general tab - check the
Double-click to open an item - APPLY / OK

Control Panel - mouse - look for hover or click Automatic similar settings according to your mouse.

When a TouchPad

Look in the Notification area next to the clock for all TouchPad control program.

Control Panel - mouse - also look for it TouchPad (mine is on the device however settings tab
other brands and maybe on the other tabs and more than one). There are usually the parameters that
can determine if a click, double click, hover or can open or close a program.

Start - computer, or Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - general tab - check the
Double-click to open an item - APPLY / OK

If some people are well positioned can change to some other setting if you plan to leave
them that way and then change again.

I hope this helps.

  • How to disable the automatic function at the opening of the lid?

    Hello

    I am facing a strange question since I got my laptop auto turned on when I open the lid. I'm looking to find a way to disable this feature.
    Any help guys?

    Thank you

    There are two possibilities. A hybrid shutdown occurred in Windows 8 (default option) or the "open Panel - Power On" is activated.

    If one of these two features is enabled, Notepad starts automatically when you open the cover of the display. To change it, disable hybrid closing mode or turn off the function "open Panel - Power On.

    For more details, see this very useful document from Toshiba.

  • disable the automatic driver install windows 7 Home premium

    I have a problem installing my dell AIO 922 printer. It is said that I should avoid windows install the drivers.

    Like the windows version family premium is not a policy editor group that I need to know what to change in the registry to prevent the installation of the drivers when I connect my USB printer so I can let the driver installation program with dell windows do its work.

    Anyone know how to disable the automatic installation of the driver without the Group Policy Editor?

    Thank you

    Hello, Willem.

    Make a test with the steps below:

    -Click Start (lower left corner of the desktop)
    -Right click on "computer" and select Properties.
    -On the left side, just below the tasks, select "Device Manager".
    -Locate your device, right click and select Properties.
    -Select the tab 'pilot' and click on uninstall.
    -Click ok and restart the computer.

    If this isn't the case, the only workaround for this problem is to install the latest driver on the manufacturer's Web site to overwrite the current driver.

    Kind regards

  • How can I disable the automatic backup in Photo Viewer?

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium. As I looked through some of my pictures, one of them was displayed on the side and I used the 'spin' button to see her standing.

    Please note the last changes you make on your computer will be automatically saved on your computer and which will be unchanged, unless you change it again on your computer.

    As it is a design, there is nothing we can do from our end.

  • How can I disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?

    Is someone can you please tell me how to disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?  I am happy to change the registry to implement if necessary.

    Why?

    Because my PC sometimes gives an IP address like 169.254.0.1.  This is because Windows has detected that your computer is connected to a network, but the PC has not yet given an IP address by DHCP on the network, so Windows Server the automatic IP Configuration comes in and gives the PC an IP address that starts with 16.254.

    The reason why that the DHCP server on the network has not given an IP address was because the network is coming a few seconds before the DHCP server comes up, and the automatic IP Configuration Windows comes too quickly.

    Of course, once the PC has an IP starting 169.254, he cannot communicate with my router that has an IP address that starts with 192.168.  The only cure, outside re-booting, is to issue the ipconfig/renew command to obtain an IP address from the router DHCP server.

    If I can turn off the automatic IP Configuration of Windows (I could disable in XP) then I can avoid this error.

    One option that you have.

    You can set the IP address to a static IP address.

    Reach:
    Beginning
    Control Panel
    Network and Internet
    Network and sharing Center

    Click on connection to the Local network (a separate dialog box opens Local Area Connectin status)
    Click on Properties (opens the dialog)
    Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
    Click on Properties

    On the general tab, move the radio button to use the following IP address:
    Here you can set the IP address that you want to use the machine.

    Example of Configuration:
    192.168.0.254
    255.255.255.0
    192.168.0.1

    You will need to note the IP DNS addresses you need more.
    If you like you can even use a set of public DNS servers for free. http://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/free-DNS-server/

    Please note that the sample configuration assumes routers IP is 192.168.0.1, check please. :)

    Good luck
