Free Software http://www.soft411.com/software/swap-mouse-buttons.html MouseButtons http://www.12noon.com/products.htm http://www.12noon.com/files/mousebuttons.exe Use caution; I've never tried their software. C/Net site.. first "hit" looks like a good one. It doesn't mention XP though: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0....mouse&tag=srch -- Joe =o) |

Copy/paste following- obsS=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") obsS.Run("control mouse") do{ WScript.Sleep(240) }while(!obsS.AppActivate("Mouse Prop")) obsS.Sendkeys(" ");WScript.Sleep(75); obsS.SendKeys("~") Save it with JS extension then run it when you want to change buttons.
