I was curious about this setting in Windows - I recall it in Linux, I
think. And apparently Unix/X-Windows have had it for a long time.
I looked at Win 7 mouse settings - there is a setting for the pointer to
point at the default button, but nothing about focus.
At any rate, there isn't a setting in Control Panel, but apparently the
feature has been around quite a while - you have to do something in the
registry, here's a link to a discussion about this - ignore the chatter
further in, eh? Typical Internet chaff, once the real stuff has been said.

It says the registry hack does work, somewhat - and it IS about Win 7.

That is, with Windows you have to explicitly give focus to
something for actions like the wheel-up /wheel-down to do something. Since
the focus is still in the Find entry field that is where it takes effect.
I think Windows has a setting which will make the focus always follow
the mouse pointer. I never use it, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it.
