How do I get sub menus of the context menus to “activate” on mouse hovering without clicking? I must have disabled that somewhere, and I cannot find where.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

Not sure how to do it manually, but you can use the Ultimate Windows Tweaker (7’s equivalent of TweakUI): http://www.thewindow…windows-7-vista

Chuck, Hello
Think this is what your referring to ? Start button… right click …choose properties… start menu tab… click customize … check the box, Open sub menus etc.
Wally / Fred;
Those two I had thought of as well, but they weren’t the culprit;
Jonathan, that was it.
I use UWT to put drive letters in front of labels in My Computer (this board’s hint), and I must’ve tripped that “switch along the way.
I just wish someone would come out with a program that would handle “all” these tweaks, ’cause you end up using one for this, and something else for “that”, and then you have to keep track of which one did what to whom…
Yea, I know, tweak less and I’ll have less problems. Well guys, ya can’t teach an old dog new tricks, so I guess we just settle for new tweaks!
Thanks all!
Regards,
Chuck
