on the road Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Right-clicking on a scroll bar results in a pop-up menu with the following options: Scroll Here-Top-Bottom-Page Up-Page Dpwn-Scroll Up-Scroll Down On my PC, this menu is glitchy and frequently activates by mistake. I would like to be able to suppress it. Is there a way to do this in either Windows XP or IE8?

_dandy_ Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Given that this menu is inherent to the OS (as opposed to being implemented by specific applications), I'd guess the only way you could disable this is either via some registry tweak or a group policy. But I can't think of a valid reason anyone would want to disable this, so somehow I doubt MS would have provided that ability. I'd spend time trying to figure out why this is "glitchy" on your system to begin with instead.

tabletpcuser Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi, I have looke for a solution to disable this Scroll Here-Top-Bottom... box for a long time and haven't found anything yet. The reason you want to disable it becomes very obvious as soon as you use a TabletPC. As you keep the stylus on the slider and briefly stop to read something, that box pops up and you have to let go from the screen with the stylus, press somewhere so it dissapears and then continue to scroll by sliding the stylus on the slider, but as soon as you stop for a moment that box comes up AGAIN! Very very irritating, surely other TabletPC users must be as annoyed as I am by this. It must go, otherwise using a TabletPC is very frustrating just for such a small thing. On a desktop PC with a mouse I have never even thought of this one, I have seen it but it never bothered me, now it is a pain in the a.. If anyone finds out how to disable it, please please let me know. I'm on my knees...
