I'm getting used to Linux way of giving focus to a window just by hovering over it with the mouse. I've found it's possible to get the same effect in Windows by changing a byte in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\UserPreferencesMask (default for me was 9e 1e 07 80 12, and I switched the 9e to 9f) and I'm quite happy with that.
Now here is the thing, when I activate the mouse-over focus I also get another effect : the mouse is moved automatically to the center of the newly focused window when I use Alt+Tab. The mouse also gets moved to the taskbar if I open the windows menu using the Win key. I really hate having my mouse moved for me and would like do disable this behavior but it seems to be linked to the mouse-over focus.
Has any one else experienced this problem ? I found a lot of tutorials explaining how to get the focus follow the mouse by changing this registry key but no one seems to be bothered by the mouse moving by itself.
