It is sometimes annoying many users, because of which they start looking for ways to remove automatically pop-up inscriptions. The removal process itself is not much labor and does not require special training.

There is a specific series of rules that need to be observed when removing a watermark resembling activation, as in most cases a third-party software is used. Often, do not everyone wants to risk and change records in the registry, it is fairly fearing to violate the normal performance of the computer.

Deleting watermarks and notifications in Windows 10 is a pretty light process. At the same time, it is necessary to clearly represent that they were not accustomed. It is quite possible that the activation for some reason has not passed or has failed in system files. Watermark, deleted earlier as the boring, will not appear. This may lead to the fact that at the most unsight now you will not be able to start the system and see a warning warning to end the period to activate Windows 10.

Therefore, it is necessary to think well, whether it is worth removing watermarks and inscriptions about the need for activation.

I) inclusion through the "Control Panel"

Ii) inclusion through the registry

The first option is easier, but does not have settings; The second option is slightly complicated, but allows you to adjust the time through which the window is activated and its output to the fore.

I) Enabling automatic window activation when hovering through the control panel.

1) Open the control panel. To do this, open the Windows Explorer and at the top of the window click the "Open Control Panel" button.

Windows 7 and Windows Vista:

2) Open the section "Special Features":

4) put a checkbox in checkbox "Activate the window when you hover the mouse pointer on it":

II. Enabling the activation of the window to the cursor through the registry

Now let's go another expensive. As Susanin said, "everything is behind me, I know a short road" \u003d)

1) Open the registry, for this we click the combination of Win + R and in the window that opens, we enter:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \\ CONTROL PANEL \\ DESKTOP

3) We need a parameter UserPreferencesMask.:

We are interested in the first byte 9e.. If you replace it with 9f.The window will be activated, but will not be displayed on the fore. If you set the value Df.The windows will be activated and displayed on the fore.

4) I press the right key by parameter and select "Change". In the window that opens, change the first byte on Df.or 9f.optional. I prescribe a value Df..

5) Also in this registry branch, you can change the value of the wait period before activating the window. To do this, proceed to the parameter ActiveWNDTRKTimeout..

One of the convenient features of the Linux X-Window graphics subsystem is the ability to automatically activate the application window when you hover the mouse cursor. To many users, this feature is very like, and it lacks it when working with Windows, because in the standard Windows configuration to activate the desired window you need to click on it.

Window activation technology when hovering the cursor is called the term Activation Follows Mouse. or X-Mouse. (not to be confused with the mouse button override the same name). Let us try to figure out how you can activate the X-Mouse function in various versions of Windows.

Activation of the window when you hover the cursor in Windows XP

In Windows XP, there is no ability to enable X-Mouse through the OS graphical interface. You can enable this mode only through the registry (or with the help of special utilities, which, in fact, also carry out the registry editing, such as TWEAKUI, TASKSWITCHXP or VISTASWITCHER).

Note.

  1. To disable the automatic activation mode of the window and transfer it to the foreground, the key value must be changed to the original: 9E 3E 01 80
  2. X-MOUSE mode is activated for the current user. If you need to change the setting for another user, editing must be made to the user branch in the HKEY_USERS section
  3. With the help of another key ActiveWNDTRKTimeout. In the same registry branch, you can customize the time during which the window when you hover the mouse becomes active. Recommended parameter value - 300 (3 seconds)

X-MOUSE mode in Windows 7 and Windows 8

In Windows 7/8, turn on the automatic activation mode of the window when you hover on it can be significantly easier. We do not have to resort to manual registry modification. Just open the control panel and go to the section EASE OF ACCESS CENTER -\u003e MAKE THE MOUSE EASIER TO USE (Center for special features - relief working with the mouse), check the checkbox - ACTIVATE A Window by Hovering Over It WITH THE MOUSE (Activate the window when you hover the mouse pointer on it) and save the changes.

Change the time delay, during which the window on which the cursor has become acts, can be carried out through the registry as described above (key ActiveWNDTRKTimeout.).

So, we figured out how in various versions of Windows, you can enable the switching mode from the active window to inactive by means of a simple mouse pointer without having to click on it.
