AlwaysMouseWheel to Scroll A Window Without Clicking on It

AlwaysMouseWheel is a simple application which allows one to scroll a window on PC without clicking on the window but can switch to and scroll any window by moving the mouse cursor over it and spinning the wheel. This seems to be a small enhancement but for those who regularly work with lots of open applications then this tool will really make the work far easier.

If we need to scroll an open window on a PC then spinning the mouse wheel is the easiest way but this only works with a foreground window only which is currently selected. If you need to scroll some other window you should select it first. Here where AlwaysMouseWheel brings the change you don’t need to click on the windows which you need to work with, instead you can simply point the mouse cursor to the window which you need to scroll and the selection will change to the window where the mouse pointer points and you can simply scrolls the window without any extra clicks.

The tool provides one important configuration option also. In default the tool performs two steps when spinning the mouse wheel, it switches to the window under the mouse cursor and scrolls it. But if you select the option “Just forwarding the Wheel command” the first option will ended and it scrolls the window where the pointer is focusing without bringing it to the foreground first.

There are options available to enable or disable AlwaysMouseWheel and select whether or not it will run on startup. The interface minimizes to the system tray when not in use, making it easy to access when it is need to change. The tool comes as a ZIP file and is accessible after extraction and without any installation. So it allows one to store and carry it along a USB drive and use it when troubleshooting and performing many other tasks. AlwaysMouseWheel is a free application which is compatible to work with Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 etc. To download the application please follow the link AlwaysMouseWheel.
