re: Stop Menus from Following the Mouse Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 2:03 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by dadederakh (1 messages posted) First, I know this message is old, but the issue and operating system are still current. This works for the Start Menu and only for the first level of submenus only (ie, after clicking "All Programs" mouse tracking is enabled again). I'm looking for a way to disable the tracking for all menus at all levels everywhere. I want to have to click every option. I'd like to do this without losing the ability to read tooltips (ie not completely disable hot-tracking). Can it be done? Again, the main reason behind this request is to avoid loading the "Send To" menu. For some reason that submenu has always taken a great deal of time to load and somehow slows down the entire computer (ever since windows 95). At the same time, I do occasionally need that submenu so removing it from the context menu is not an option.
