Make Windows Better Use Clicklock to move items

If you find it difficult to click and hold your right mouse button, then drag to select items – for example, to select many lines of text or to click and move items to different areas of your PC – there’s an easy mouse setting you can enable to make the process easier.

It’s called Clicklock, and you can access it by pressing the Start button, typing mouse, then clicking the first option that appears. In the Mouse Properties window, tick ‘Turn on Clicklock’ at the bottom. Don’t close the window yet, because we’ll show you how to adjust the sensitivity of the setting later.

Now open any Word document you’ve saved. Click and hold the right button on your mouse for about two seconds, then leave it. Now move your cursor up or down and you’ll notice any text you move over will be selected. Click the right mouse button again at the point where you want the selection to end. You can use a similar method to move items on your PC. To do this, press and hold the Shift key then click to select the items you want to move. Now simply right-click any of the selected items for about two seconds and drag them wherever you want.

If you want to increase or decrease the initial two-second wait for the click-and-hold funcion to activate, return to the Clicklock window in Mouse Properties, click the Settings button and move the slider to the left or right (see screenshot above). When you’re happy with your settings, click OK followed by Apply, then OK again. follow. For example, type lse for the London Stock Exchange, then click the correct autosuggest option. To add further companies you want to follow, click the ‘+’ button again and repeat the process. You can now click any of the companies you added to see a graph of how its stock has fared on that day. Below the graph are options to set the period you want the graph to cover, including a week, month or year.
