Left Handed Mouse Settings on a Latitude D400
A user who is left handed likes to reverse the buttons on the external USB mouse. But the Mouse settings in control panel are only for the nipple and pad. Any ideas if there is a way of switching the buttons if you have plugged in the Dell USB optical mouse?
Thanks.

When I go to the mouse properties, on the Buttons tab, there is a check box labeled "Swap left and right button functions of USB mouse".
I'm using version 5.4102.8 of the driver, if that helps.

Update on my issue. Changed all the registry swapmousebutton entries to 1. Sadly this did not do much. But it did swap the buttons during the login procedure for the laptop (Novell and Windows). As soon as Windows loads up though it is back to right handed settings.

We have this issue in our work environment here, and there is a fix inviolving a new driver. I don't have a link to it since we have it on an internal server here at work, but this is what you need:

Thanks for that. Will make a note. In the end I gave a user a logitech mouse and downloaded their software which switches quite happily.
Thanks again.
