The Minority Report

Download and use…WizMouse. It’s free and it stops you having to click on a window before you can scroll with the mouse wheel. I’ve been using it for about 5 minutes and I also wonder why it’s not built into Windows.

Kind of like how the XMouse Powertoy used to change the Window focus when you moved the mouse over it except just for mouse wheel scrolling. Freaking awesome.

WizMouse is a mouse enhancement utility that makes your mouse wheel work on the window currently under the mouse pointer, instead of the currently focused window. This means you no longer have to click on a window before being able to scroll it with the mouse wheel. This is a far more comfortable and practical way to make use of the mouse wheel.

WizKey can also optionally enable the mouse wheel in applications that don’t support it. It does this by translating mouse wheel commands into scroll bar commands that all applications can understand and process.

* Scrolls windows under the mouse without having to click first
* Enables the mouse wheel in applications that don’t support mouse wheels

Once WizMouse has been installed and is active, configure it by double clicking on the WizMouse icon in the system tray.
