Tips and Tecniques for MicroSoft Windows
...............................................................................
Setting in WIN.INI can increase the Double-Click
recognition area
Do you sometimes have trouble holding the mouse perfectly still while
you're double-clicking? if so, you can save yourself a lot of frustration
by broadening the area in which windows will detect a double-click. To
do so, open the WIN.INI file in notepad or SysEdit and find the [WINDOWS]
section. Then, add to this section the lines
DoubleClickHeight=X
DoubleClickWidth=Y
where X and Y represent the vertical and horizontal pixel ranges of the
double-click area centered around the target pixel. I recommend that you
put it after the DoubleClickSpeed=Line. Once you've added the changes
save and exit the WIN.INI file and restart windows to implement the
enlarged Double-Click recognition area.

Starting Windows by typing WIN : can make your
System unstable
You might know you can bypass the Windows logo when you start Windows by
Typing WIN : at the system prompt. However, this isn't the best way to bypass
the stsrtup logo, since this command can cause problems and make your system
unstable. A safer way to bypass the startup logo is when you start Windows
is to typw WIN and then press [Spacebar], then [F7], and finally [Enter].
At the System prompt, this command looks like this
C:\>WIN ^@
Another safe way to bypass the Windows Logo is to specify a program to
execute at startup when you issue the command to start Windows. This
command takes the form
C:\>WIN path\program
where path is the directory containing the program to execute and program
is the the executable file the starts the program. If the directory contains
program appears in the PATH statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the only
parameter you need to include is program.
