Windows 8 - How can I stop Auto Select mouse

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 8. I can't understand how to stop auto mouse clicking on everything I could hover over too long. I checked the settings and checked for double click, but it still happens. What else could be the cause?

Thank you!

Ed, I found this one.
Control Panel/All Control Panel Items and mouse

in the window that opens scroll down to 'Activate edge scans' and uncheck the box, click on 'apply '.
I'm sure that's where you used to be able to disable the auto click in Windows 7, but as I said in my response to Mohammad, of course the heads of Geek decided it wasn't a pretty difficult place to hide the option to disable this annoying option so they hid somewhere else or got rid of him quite... probably because some head geek has wet dreams more Click Automatic and agreed everyone should enjoy it as well as he does.

    Hi UKuser7,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    Automatic logon is disabled in Windows 7 by default for security reasons. If it is enabled, anyone who can physically access the computer can also gain access to everything on the computer, including the networks that it is connected.

    This setting is only recommended for cases where the computer is physically secure.

    To set up Windows 7 to connect to the desktop automatically, follow the steps below.

    1) click Start , and then enter the following command in the start search box:

    Netplwiz

    2) press ENTER.

    This opens the Advanced user accounts Control Panel window.

    (3) in the users tab, uncheck the box next to users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    4) click apply at the bottom of the user accounts window.

    (5) when the newspaper automatically on the dialog box appears, enter the user name for which you want to automatically connect to Windows 7. Then enter your password in the two areas where it is requested.

    6) click on the OK button.

    7) click OK in the window user accounts to complete the process.

    Thereafter, your PC at startup, Windows 7 will be automatically connect.

    Ticket back for your comments and concerns.

  • Function of gradation on background of what I posted windows screen - how can I stop this? (Windows 7)

    This has been driving me crazy and I can't seem to understand what it is or how to stop it!

    Depending on whether the window/application/website that I posted is dark or light, my screen will slowly decrease or brighten in response.  For example, if I open a Web page that is all black, my screen turns off slowly.  If I switch to a blank Word document with a white background, the screen will slowly ease back.

    It is incredibly annoying and really caring about my eyes.  I tried the steps to disable the Adaptive brightness, but it doesn't seem to be the same thing.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

    If it helps, I am running Windows 7 on a Dell Latitude laptop.

    Dell has their own extra brightness setting that works regardless of your Windows operating system, you will need to check that.  If you can't find it, Dell.com has 'chat with a tech' to guide you.

  • How can I stop tool select the objects to 'pick up '.

    Hi, I just upgraded to CS6 in CS3. I find that with most of the files, when I click or double click an object with the 'Selection' object tool is picked up and begins to move whenever I have point the cursor to "select".

    I think this is a feature rather than a flaw, but all I usually want to do is double click in a text box to change the text. Instead, I find myself engaged in a dance joyous, something as when Peter Parker first gets his powers and continues to pick up objects with his sticky hands and cannot put it down; except less funny.

    Can someone help me to stop this behavior and get back to editing the text easily?

    Don't know if this helps, but I use a Magic Trackpad and a display of feather Yiynova (like a Cintiq). Do the equivalent of 'clicks' with the two produced this effect.

    Thank you.

    It is certainly a problem on your system, not in the code. The only big change you would see in the selection of CS3 behavior would be that the selected objects are selected to go anywhere you click inside of them or if they are behind another object, then you will need to is no longer be sure to enter the Center spot on unfilled or hidden frames. In addition, what described you in your original post looks like a kind of scroll setting in a driver for your touchpad, pen or display.

  • Sometimes, when I try to do a Google search, many pop-up windows 'Search the opening' appear. I can't keep typing in my search until I closed all these pop-up windows. How can I stop the EVER arise again?

    They are small pop up windows. When I start to enter key words to search for, very often these things pop up and not a single one. A lot of them. Popping each other on the other on the other. I can't enter anything again in the Google search box until I closed all the windows. And, usually, the ones many of them will appear again when I enter my search in the next letter.

    This is what it says in the pop up box:

    Along the top it says in clear blue margin 'search for opening.

    Under the foregoing and in a white box, he said:

    "You have chosen to open.

    [a symbol Windows] search

        which is a: application/json
        from: https//www.google.com
    

    Then on the sketch of an inner box, it reads "that should Firefox do with this file?" and it gives the following options:

        Open with ["Browse" button]
        DownThemAll!
        Save File [This one is checked as the default]
    

    Then a check box with the text next to it: "cela automatically for files like this in the future.

    Under this is a button 'OK' which is in gray and cannot be controlled and one button 'Cancel' which may be. I have never done but used the 'X' at the top right of the box to close this window.

    Now I see that I have limited options for "Happen" for the frequency. It is not every time that Firefox is open, but it is MUCH more common than 'a few times a week'. More like several times a day.

    I erased the Max, disabled all extensions and then restarted my computer. I tried to raise the problem with the Google search and it didn't happen (yet). I then re-enabled only the modules that really make me more easy life on the net, and once again, the problem has not (yet) surface.

    I don't the tag as resolved for a few more days to be sure it is resolved.

    Thanks for the help! I hope it's resolved now.

  • Things are "read" aloud with the update - as' Firefox new window '. How can I stop this?

    With the latest version of Firefox and the previous beta version (3.6, I think), my MacBook is 'read' all that aloud--for example, when I go to my favorites, if I go to "shopping", I mean "shopping, submenu." If I then highlight Amazon, I heard "Amazon" and so on. And he is always saying "Firefox is a new window" when I go to a different tab. Given than ever, this happened before the last beta of Firefox and continues with Firefox 4 and since I could not stop via system preferences, I guess it has something to do with the Firefox browser. Help!
