When the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen and the mouse cursor
is moved to the very bottom of the screen (so that the cursor only
shows 1 pixel), if we click the mouse, the cursor will be pushed back
several pixels up away from the screen edge.
If the taskbar is at left, then it's when the cursor is at the left
edge of the screen, and it'll be pushed back several pixels to the
right. Same thing if the taskbar is at the top or the right.
This doesn't happen if the mouse cursor is at the other 3 screen
edges where the taskbar doesn't stick on. And this only applies in
Windows 2000 up to Windows XP.
The question is, why does it do that? Anyone know?
Under Mouse Properties for Pointers, are you using a Windows default
scheme for pointers?
Or some 3rd party pointer scheme?
Are you using the mouse driver included in Windows, or did you install ancilliary software that came with the mouse? Whose device driver is the mouse using?
Which brand and model of mouse are you using?
Is the Taskbar always shown, or did you configure it to auto-hide?
Are you using a screen resolution that matches the native resolution of
the monitor?
Are you using a scaling feature in the video software that enlarges the logical screen greater than the monitor's physical screen size? That
is, does the Windows screen slide around when the cursor hits a monitor screen edge?
Since you are asking about really old OSes, are you using a CRT or LCD monitor?
Are you using a 3rd party desktop manager instead of explorer.exe?
Mine does the same. My diagnosis would be that you
and Rudy both have too much time on your hands. :)
Mayayana,

Isn't having a hobby not already proof that of having to much time on ones hands ? :-p

I think there's a thin line between hobbyist and professional.

Touche. :) Though I wouldn't agree there's a thin line between
hobbyist and professional. A hobbyist can be an expert. But
a professional has to perform dependably in an affordable time
frame. A hobbyist might repair their own refrigerator. A pro
has to do it dependably and quickly. They can't really be pro
until they've fixed that exact problem numerous times. They're
not doing it for fun.
I don't think of myself as either with computers. Sitting
at my computer is not a hobby. Learning about computers
was at one time. As was programming. And to some extent
I've done both tech support and programming professionally.
But that mostly just grew out of a desire for competence.
I wanted the computer to act as expected and do what I
wanted. I'm a handyman by nature.
I now only research when I have to. I don't clean
Registries. I don't spend Saturdays exploring group policy
entries. I just read articles, send email, edit photos, write
and print business docs, etc. I've entered a phase of life
that I call, "I'm too old for that shit." I sometimes think I'd
like to get into writing a new program, but there's nothing
I need.
