Re: an issue with mouse wheel in explorer

Unfortunately, you are all correct. XP made this one of their changes.
Moving from Win98SE to XP, this was one of the first things I noticed and
hated. I am not sure why MS decided to change the behaviour the way they did
(or find a way round it) as it is a real nuisance.
Basically, like myself, you have to live with it.

I would like to know if this is common or it's just happening with me.

If I open explorer it splits into two halves, left side shows the folder
view right shows the files.

But to use the mouse wheel to scroll in either half i first have to
click. Is this normal ? Shouldn't it activate the wheel just by moving
into the appropriate area ?
some of my other programs work okay, not MS ?

What you see is normal. You have to click first.
