Disabling mouse Wheel
-
Does anyone know how to disable that damn mouse wheel? So many programs use it for really annoying stuff (Like Corel X3 where if you bump the wheel it zooms the picture out so far that it is nothing but a dot). I don't want to use it for scrolling, zooming or anything. I just want to turn it off. Or do I have to rip it out with a pair of pliers to shut it down?

Interesting. There is of course a "Mouse" control panel, but on my system (Vista) that doesn't seem to offer an on/off switch. Google gives many hits, one points here[^] for "TweakUI"; sounds promising. :)

Not sure what Windows version you're using, but Microsoft says it's not possible to disable system wide in Vista. See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/input/wheel.mspx[^] and grab the Wheel.docx file.

"Enhanced Wheel Support in Windows Vista" Right. So they removed a way to disable, and called it an enhancement. :)

I don't think so. Apple is very careful about what hardware they include; but they do provide software support for available hardware. :)

Just found this, pretty sure its a solution: "If the value of this entry is 0, the screen will not scroll when the mouse wheel is turned." http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/53/[^]

Moose.That makes sense. There is a Mouse Control Panel, with a "Wheel" tab, so one should not need to change the registry; however the NumericUpDown there has its MinimumValue set to 1. :omg:
