  1. How can I stop Windows from selecting items from right click menus when I lift my finger...


    Because of a medication I take, my right hand my "mouse" hand often twitches when I try to left or right click. The result is, for example, when I right click to open a right-click menu, my hand will twitch slightly causing the cursor to move before I let go of the right click button, and thus selecting something that I didn't want to select at all.For those who might be reading this and are not aware, you can press the right click button to open a right click menu without letting go of the right click button, then move the cursor to the menu item you want to select, and simply release the

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
     
  3. Windows File Explorer right click menu is selecting files through the menu

    In Windows 11 File Explorer, if I select a file and right click it to choose something from the dropdown list, like copy, instead of selecting the menu item, it selects the file underneath the menu item. It's basically clicking through the dropdown list. I have to right click off to the side so that my cursor is over the preview pane and not over a file below the command (copy or whatever) or use keyboard shortcuts. How do I stop this?

    Windows 10 touchpad Release Drag after Finger Lift

    I have a Samsung Laptop with ELAN touchpad.

    The only features I like from a touchpad are..

    • Tap to Click.
    • Double Tap to Right Click.
    • Two Finger Scrolling.
    • Drag Windows. But Release immediately after finger lift.

    My Samsung Pointing Device with Windows 10 has no option to control Release Drag immediately after finger lift. It only has a default of Release Drag after certain timeout like 2 seconds. There are no options. It was very irritating and I'm not used to this kind of behaviour.

    BTW, I installed its device driver from Windows Update.
    If I don't install its device driver, the options that don't work for me are
    Double Tap To Right Click and Two Finger scrolling.

    And if I install this device driver from Windows Update, the option that doesn't work for me is Release Dragging of Windows Immediately after Finger Lift

    Previously in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 the touchpad settings specifically showed the option "Release Dragging after Finger Lift". But in Windows 10, that option is completely abset.

    How can i enable Tap to Click , Double Tap to Right Click , Two Finger Scrolling , Drag Windows but Release immediatley after Finger Lift with or without installing any drivers?
