Mouse Focus - How to control?

[FrankEdwards]

I've used TweakUI but I'd like to stop the mouse from grabbing focus when
it hovers over a file or folder in Windows Explorer. Is this possible?
Right now I have to intentionally move the mouse out of the window when
editing...rather tedious after about 50 times a day.

See Folder Options, General for that.

Nothing there in my XP Pro regarding mouse focus. Unless its got something
to do with single or double clicking a file?

Start up TweakUI then go to:
Mouse->X-Mouse
and un-check the "Activation follows mouse" checkbox.

HTH,

Like I said, I've used TweakUI. That has never been checked. If only
that could solve this problem.

Yes, you have it set to (point to select), switch it to (single-click to
select)

Its working now. Maybe it needed a restart. Thanks though. So often
when things don't work you just need to restart things and I guess that
helps things reset.
