  1. How can I disable horizontal scrolling for Windows 10?


    I use a USB mouse, and whenever I try to scroll down, the scroll wheel acts as the forward/back buttons. I've tried to fix it in the mouse settings menu, but the lowest I can set it to is 1. Is there any way I can disable this feature?

    :)

  3. Horizontal Scroll Jump


    Open a Windows 10 file explorer folder containing enough folders/files that, in List Mode, would cause it to display a horizontal scroll bar. Click on any file/folder residing in any column to the right of the left-most column. Instead of the file or folder opening, the click action produces a right horizontal scroll that takes said column one column position to the left.

    This annoying behavior is several years old. I was hoping someone finally came up with a solution.

    Agreed, have seen in the List Mode that the focus moves the view left to right or back depending on where the click occurred. The other Modes are straight-away lists of Folder then files with the vertical scroll bar, no horizontal scroll bar.
