Every once in awhile I have to pass along nifty software I find.

It was driving me nuts having to always click before I could scroll in a window. A simple example is when you open Windows File Explore and you navigate to a directory. You then have to click (argh) in the file list to enable scrolling down to find the file you want.

Never fear, my friends, there is a simple and elegant solution. And, as with all the best solutions, this one is free!

WizMouse from Antibody Software provides a quick and easy fix. Download the software, install and watch your productivity soar! What you get is basically the automatic activation of scrolling on a hover event. It doesn’t even require that the window have focus (be active) – so you can scroll through a window that is sitting behind your active window. Nice!

Enjoy!
