FlashWheel

FlashWheel is a windows utility to allow the mouse wheel message to be sent to the window under the cursor instead of the active window. This emulates the behaviour of many common GUI environments used in Unix-like systems.

Simple and efficient. No bugs found and no conflicts with other Win shortcuts or whatsoever. Better then AlwaysMouseWheel and WizMouse when you don't need other features.

There is one bug, though: "The control panel is not working in 64-bit. Simply download flashwheel-VistaFix.exe and save it somewhere. Then create a shortcut and add it to your startup folder." Seems like the tool does just what I expected from it.

I just found out it doesn't work with Windows 10 (yet). With FlashWheel activated, scrolling in Edge and Windows-menu's doesn't work, while it still works in Chrome, Firefox and others. This doesn't mind, because this feature is now in Windows 10 itself.
