Always scroll wherever the mouse pointer is
If you’ve ever tried to scroll with your mouse but couldn’t, this small app (script) is for you. I bet everyone knows that microsecond of panic. “Oh no, my mouse isn’t working! Or maybe Windows froze? Did time itself stop???” In the end you realize that the window is just out of focus, another window has popped up somewhere which leaves you without scroll ability.

To stop this horror from happening, some clever German people have developed a script that runs in Windows to enable you to scroll the window the mouse pointer is hovering over. The only problem is that it sits in the system tray, clogging up space (see post on hiding system tray icons) and it also seems a waste to have an app for such a specific task. It could also include some other advanced mouse features and be developed into a suite of small apps.

    I am having these serious problem. My laptop has Synaptics touch pad software that takes care of this. But I am having a lot of panic on my work desktop. I am wasting billions of microseconds and generating annoying clicking noise pollution. MS should come up something for this in Windows 7.
