Irritating Mouse behavior
Frequently items get selected or activated when the mouse simply hovers over the icon without every purposely clicking on it. How do I turn the 'feature' off.

Thanks

Try reinstalling your mouse driver. That actually has nothing to do with Vista.

You did not specify the type of mouse. But it's a wireless mouse, try replacing the battery.

In Folder Options, Control panel, is Double click to open an item checked? Often times if single click is checked just lighting on an icon will start it.
