Hi all!
Anyone know of any software or any way to set up the mouse so that the left hand/right hand orientation will change based on the profile that's currently logged on to windows? Both my son's are lefties and it would be much easier for them if, whenever they sign on, the mouse button orientation would automatically change from right hand to left hand use instead of having to go thru the control panel to change settings. Thanks.
 
If you are using win98 you can enable multi-user settings from the control panel. Just double click on the "users" icon. I am only guessing (never had to try it) but this might save different mouse settings for you and your kids.

You might be able to set up different hardware profiles which can be then selected on boot up . Under System in control panel - select hardware profile tab - then select copy hardware profile and give it a name like son profile and then reboot machine and select the son profile and then change the mouse setting to left handed .
