ClickLock. ClickLock is for people blessed with large monitors or

laptop trackpads who, when dragging icons onscreen, get tired of
keeping the mouse button pressed continually. Instead, you can
make Windows “hold down” the button automatically, avoiding
years of unpleasant finger cramps and messy litigation.

When ClickLock is turned on, you can drag objects on the screen
like this: First, point to the item you want to drag, such as an icon.
Press the left mouse or trackpad button for the ClickLock interval.

(You can specify this interval by clicking the Settings button in this
dialog box.)

When you release the mouse button, it acts as though it’s still

pressed. Now you can drag the icon across the screen by moving
the mouse (or stroking the trackpad) without holding any button

down.

To release the button, hold it down again for your specified time
interval.

Pointers tab

See Figure 4-5 for details on changing the shape of your cursor.

Pointers Options tab

See Figure 4-6 for a rundown of these cursor-related functions.

Wheel tab

The scroll wheel on the top of your mouse may be the greatest mouse

enhancement since they got rid of the dust-collecting ball on the bottom. It
lets you zoom through web pages, email lists, and documents with a twitch
of your index finger.

Use these controls to specify just how much each wheel notch scrolls. (You
may not see this tab at all if your mouse doesn’t have a wheel.)
