Hi all you PC users out there i Mudcat land. I have posted this query to other IT forums without success and thought I'd try here to see if some of the wiser PC users can help.

In XP (SP2), whenever I hold the cursor over an option button or similar for more than a few seconds, the item becomes selected and actioned. This is the case whether I actually click the mouse or not.

As I understand it this "auto-selection behaviour is a default setting in XP but it is particularly irritating and there doesnt seem to be a readily available option to change the default.

Its not the greatest issue in the IT world but any help or advice as usual would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Andrez
