The name of a registry entry?
Windows 8 Accessibility has a setting for switching windows by simply
hovering the mouse pointer over an inactive window. That's nice, but... What is the registry entry for setting the time interval to wait before switching to an inactive window after the pointer is hovering over it? It's a bit too quick and I need to slow it down. I knew what that setting was in Windows XP, but I seem to have misplaced it. Searching isn't easy, thanks to the word "hover" applying to various things. -- feel free to remove the other group |

SevenForums has a posting identifying the value you're asking about as Key: HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop Value: ActiveWndTrkTimeout Type: REG_DWORD Data: hover time in msec. Enabling the option whie watching the Registry with Process Monitor, the default seems to be 500 (decimal) No, I've not tested this on Win7. Joe |

And it requires re-logging to make the change. -- No, I've not tested this on Win7. Joe |
