ClickLock Gives Extra Utility for Reading and Dragging
Windows allows us to change a little setting that locks the mouse click after holding it for a bit. I use it all the time for dragging windows and files across my multiple monitors and to use the scroll bar while I'm reading something. I recently got a new computer, and the default setting is "off." This highlighted just how useful ClickLock is. It is especially useful when I'm on the go and don't have a mouse or trackball with a scroll wheel.
I have mine set to a few ticks shorter than the default, or four from the left. Experiment with it. You want the hold to come naturally. Clicking on something to select it shouldn't trigger the lock. But you don't want to wait too long for it to kick in, either.
Here are directions for turning it on and setting the amount of time needed to click for it to lock.
