When I double click on some text in my word processor, or web browser, etc.
Windows tries to select a complete word. Many times it grabs multiple words
because they are separated by "_", "\" or other characters.

How can I modify what Windows uses to delimit words? I'm sure there must be
somewhere to tweak as these delimiters would be different for different
languages.

Forgot to include the second and third group to my posting. I'm watching
all three groups for replies.
