Yea, I first noticed (and was annoyed the most by) it in Total Commander ... And although Total Commander has a multiple-selection toggle function as well, it still isn't nearly as convienent as drag-selection ... Not to mention, alot of older apps don't have a similar function ... I think the main reason you see that option in tmail.exe is because it's part of the new OS and the WM devs saw that they had no choice but to implement it ...

At least one app that is included in the new OS (notepad.exe) has "solved" :P the problem in the opposite matter by disabling kinetic scrolling alltogether ... I find this very annoying but also encouraging ... If we can figure out how it is being disabled we can reproduce the effect ..

Unfortunately I have already searched the registry for some type of exclusion list containing "notepad.exe" and found nothing ...

If anyone has any insight, please PM me or post here, I am more than willing to do the coding if we can figure out how to toggle kinetic scrolling programatically...

Edit: On a side note that I haven't mentioned yet, The ability to toggle or shift the kinetic scrolling support would also hopefully allow us to use kinetic scrolling in any APP (even notepad.exe and the like) and shrink our WM API scrollbars to a few pixels to use them as more of an indicator of position rather than a scrolling interface ... This would give us much more screen real-estate, and IMHO, a much sleeker looking GUI ...
