    Most of you probably think this is basic stuff or it does not bother you but not being on the cutting edge of technology and having been a Mac user for many years I'm at a loss. Last year was the first time I started using a PC running XP. Well let me tell you I've asked and endured for over a year now and it drives me nuts :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: . The mouse pointer if left unattended on a button or any of the side banners while on the net auto selects. Now what's up with that :confused: :confused: :confused:. I don't want to select anything until I clic, double click or triple click on it. I just want to be the boss, and not be subject to the damned pointer's whims. My question is how does one dissable this most anoying feature of this OS???? Please let me return to being the master of my domain!!!!!!:cry: :cry:
