[windows] Section Settings The [windows] section contains settings that affect general areas of your Windows environment, such as which applications run when you start Windows and how information appears on your screen. The [windows] section can contain the following settings. ____________________________________________________________ DoubleClickHeight= Default: 4 Purpose: Specifies the height (in pixels) that the mouse pointer can move between clicks when you double-click. If the mouse pointer is moved further up or down, the two clicks are treated as separate single clicks. For example, if DoubleClickHeight=10, the mouse pointer cannot move vertically more than 5 pixels between clicks in order for the two clicks to be recognized as a double-click. If you use an odd number, it is rounded up to the nearest even number. This setting is helpful if you are using a pen-tablet pointing device. To change: Use Notepad to edit the WIN.INI file. ____________________________________________________________ DoubleClickWidth= Default: 4 Purpose: Specifies the width (in pixels) that the mouse pointer can move between clicks when you double-click. If the mouse pointer is moved further right or left, the two clicks are treated as separate single clicks. For example, if DoubleClickWidth=10, the mouse pointer cannot move horizontally more than 5 pixels between clicks in order for the two clicks to be recognized as a double- click. If you use an odd number, it is rounded up to the nearest even number. This setting is helpful if you are using a pen-tablet pointing device. To change: Use Notepad to edit the WIN.INI file. ____________________________________________________________ Load= Default: None Purpose: Specifies one or more applications to run as icons when Windows is started.
