How to Turn On or Off Mouse ClickLock in Windows
This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off Mouse ClickLock and change ClickLock settings for your account in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10.
You can use the ClickLock feature in Windows if you have trouble holding down the left mouse button and moving the mouse at the same time — a common problem for notebook users.

1. Open the Control Panel and click on the Mouse icon.
2. Check the Turn On ClickLock box and click the Settings button.
3. Set how long you want to hold the mouse button down before ClickLock kicks in.
4. Click OK.
