Help me stop windows to open records, when the mouse over

I see that others have similar problems, and I am also certain that the cure to my problem is a hack of simple registry or something.

I use Windows 7, and one of the things that I find frustrating is when you try to move a folder or file to another (now shift to move) the windows in its wisdom decided to open th efolder I try to drag the file in, if I don't drop the file quickly enough.   This often results in dropping me the file or folder in a different subfolder of wher I want it to go.   I am really frustrated with this and wish Microsoft would stop thinking for us and allow us to choose these actions, rather than forcing them to us.

Any help will be appreciated.

I do not have a cure, but I have a suggestion for you:

Right- drag the file or folder. I prefer to do it this way because
When you release, you get invited to know if you want to copy, move,
or create a shortcut. I do not remember when it arrives
moved and when it is copied, and doing it this way takes away that
the burden of memory.

    Thank you..

    You can either set its visible to false, but don't forget the rectangle, then keep checking to see if the mouse is inside this rectangle. Or an easier way would be to set its alpha to 0 and a normal mouse event to set the alpha to 1 when the user points in this area.

  • How to stop windows that open up behind the taskbar and sidebar

    I was wondering if there was a way to stop windows from behind the taskbar and sidebar of Vista SP2, I currently have my taskbar on the right side on the same width as my sidebar, located on the left side of the screen. Both have been set to keep above other windows. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    Even if it meant having the image of the shrunken desktop so it fit perfectly into the space remaining.

    Also, is it possible to have a mobile wallpaper?

    Oddities of the operating system, I think. Having the bar spots on the side at least gives you a chance to save a program window. I run the taskbar double wide at the top, and some programs insist on opening umderneath it. I have to resize the task bar if I want to be able to move the window anywhare. Also happens in Win 7...

  • How can I stop Firefox toolbar pop up when the mouse is above the screen mode full screen (without kiosk mode, please)?

    I don't want the toolbar always there (so disable auto hide does not solve the issue). I would prefer a right-click or use a combination of keys to retrieve the toolbar. The toolbar arise at any time that the mouse is near the top of the screen is too distracting. It should be an option, users can enable or disable or card for anything other than the mouse hovering. The only solution I've seen mentioned is to go the full kiosk with something like R-kiosk, but it's really a too extreme solution to a simple problem. Is there a setting already hidden in the topic-config for this problem or is it a feature request? Thank you.

    There is no built-in way to disable this feature to display the toolbars when you move the mouse to the top.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    #fullscr-toggler { display:none!important; }
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor like Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in the folder chrome (file name is case sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window
    • Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
      Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file
  • Windows app to disappear when the mouse is moving...

    Hello!

    I have a Dell Precision M4800 and attached to it, I have an external Dell P2213 display. I set it up as I like a single large screen. The desktop icons are on the laptop if the attached screen is free. When I have stuff on two of them, perhaps Outlook, Excel anything really, I can at any time simply lose them, lose what I was just on my external display. All there is left on the bottom and some prominent thin frames where my applications were before their disappearance. If I push my mouse so I get all back, but if I can do something, such as moving the cursor on the laptop I could lose my external screen again. It's extremely embarrassing say the least. I thought that it had to do with a 'dead zone' between the screens, but no. There is no empty space between them, they are combined in a transparent manner.

  • Windows 7 crashes - blue screen is displayed when the mouse is flown over IE icon in the toolbar

    Hello

    I was struck with a weird problem.  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron N4110 with Windows 7 64-bit Home Basic.

    The laptop was working fine until last year.   The problem arises as below

    1. Open the IE or Google Chrome browser.  After that I open this browser I am able to browse Web sites, etc., using Wi - Fi and Datacard connection without any problems.
    2. I reduce the window IE or Chrome
    3. I move the mouse over the icon in the toolbar to maximize still IE.  Windows crashes and I get a blue screen.
    4. This behavior is replicable n number of times.
    5. Also, I believe that the accident occurred when I try to use the button left of the mouse and not the right button

    I raised an issue with Dell technical support that the laptop is still under warranty and that they were not able to help and asked me to contact MS to solve this problem.  I did the following, but of no use.

    1. Installed Avast Antivirus to scan the entire file system.  Previously, I had Kaspersky, but the license has expired.  There is no infection reported in any of the two.
    2. I used Malwarebytes to find malware.  Once again clean.
    3. I uninstalled the recent windows and Office updates, once again no help.
    4. As recommended by Dell support, I have updated Bios video driver drivers USB etc, but no help again.
    5. I removed the RAM cleaned and replaced but that was of no help again.  I replaced my defective existing of 4 GB of RAM with a 2 GB of RAM, thinking it could be a RAM.  It also did not help.
    6. I ran Chkdsk f and carefully checked for repair bad sectors, etc.,.

    Need help Urgent technicians of M/S on it.  It's really frustrating, and I don't know if this frequent crashes corrupt my hard drive.

    I think that just installing the new driver should solve the problem.  Let us know.

    You can add this to the .carousel div too instead of using javascript.

  • The taskbar icon remains highlighted even when the mouse is moved.

    In windows 7, (and this is just a recent problem, so probably linked to an update of windows or something) normally when you move the mouse over an icon that is pinned to the taskbar (or icon of a window that is open) he puts out, then when you move the mouse from a distance, like on a document or something the highlight goes away. My laptop (from recently) does not remove the highlight. What I finally put the mouse in the taskbar remains highlighted until I put the mouse over something else (it does not disappear when I move the mouse away). This could be a third party software problem, or a bad windows update? (he has started making cela only a couple of days)

    It is now resolved, see http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/gadgets-not-displayed-correctly-windows-7-vista/comment-page-2/#comment-12981 for the solution.
