Look at the handicap access options. Sounds like you have something turned on there.

Control Panel > Ease of Access > Make the mouse easier to use

There is a checkbox in there about hovering opening things, see if that is checked.

That's all I got. What kind of mouse is it?

If it is a laptop track pad go into the track pad settings and turn off any tapping settings that may be set. And/or see if there are new mouse/trackpad drivers available.

You may have to give up any tapping functionality if you can't find a driver, that seems to be the solution I found googling for it.
