| | Unintentional Launch of Control Panel My Vista (SP1, etc) control panel works just fine. Too well. It launches when I click on the Start button. Not every time, but more than half the time. This occurs with no correlation to mouse position or to the Start menu option actually selected. It will often launch before I click on one of the Start options. |

| | Re: Unintentional Launch of Control Panel Are you using the touch pad or a separate mouse? I prefer using a separate wireless mouse; better control on the 'clicking'.

| | Re: Unintentional Launch of Control Panel Using a wireless mouse. But you may be right about the 'clicking.' If I click on 'Start' and the Control Panel *doesn't* appear, then I can replicate the fluke by clicking on the little picture at the top of the menu. That picture is within 1/4" of the 'Start' button location. However, no other button or feature elsewhere on the screen or in any other program will cause similar behavior. ~~~~ "Robert Hankins" wrote: Quote: > Are you using the touch pad or a separate mouse?
