I can't take any credit for any of the following steps but hopefully this will provide you with some x-mouse capability. (credits are below) I mainly am posting this because I hate reloading windows, then waste time digging through a bunch of sites until I find the "right" x-mouse feature I want: Focus follows mouse, but doesn't raise window... ever... I am purely blogging this for my own records.

I love the way True X-Mouse works, where you HAVE to click the title bar to grab focus of the window, but it is no longer being maintained. (Why hasn't someone in the OpenSource community created something similar?!??) On the flip side, I never could stand the auto copy function... shut that crap off!! I'll press ctrl+c & ctrl+v when I need to!

Anywho, off my soapbox, the following steps are for a "follow mouse, but don't raise window" style of x-mouse:

Step #1:

• Open regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
  Edit UserPreferenceMask value to be 9F 3E 07 80 12 00 00 00
  [You should only have to modify the first pair]

Step #2:

• Also in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
  Edit ActiveWndTrkTimeout, change 'Base' to Decimal and put in 150 as the 'Value Data'

  [this value is time in milliseconds that it takes for the focus to change. To avoid some issues with the taskbar I recommended using a value like 150 or so, but if you'd like to have a different delay before the window loses focus, set it to whatever you like.]

Step #3:

• Log off and log back in
