//Dil Se Desi// Computer Tip - Its the mouse today :-)

 
Q: Is there a way for a left-hander like me to make my mouse easier to use?
 
A:To help out you lefties, since Windows 98 a feature was included for changing the buttons on your mouse, allowing you to replicate the feel of the right-handed mouse (like having the primary mouse click be your pointer finger).
 
To switch buttons on your mouse to a left-handed configuration in Windows 98 & ME, go to Start, Settings, Control Panel and double-click the Mouse icon. On the Buttons tab, choose the Left-handed setting under Button Configuration.
 
 
Windows XP users go to Start, Control Panel, "Printers and Other Hardware" (if in category view), then Mouse. Go to "Button Actions" and change the Left button action to "Right Click" and the Right button action to "Left Click". (Don't be surprised if your user interface looks different. Just look around, the feature should be there somewhere).
 
 
Something else to think about—if you're in a position where you're using the computer all the time, it might make some sense to distribute the wear-and-tear on the mouse to both arms (and decrease the wear and tear on your left arm). Using your left hand to work with the mouse can be tough at first, but with a little practice it becomes just as natural as using your right hand. Follow the directions above, then start practicing.

Tip of the Day
 
Liven Up Your Mouse
 
I've read about the FDA testing the effect of caffeine on laboratory mice, but that won't help us here. Adjusting the speed of your mouse pointer and buttons can help liven up your mouse.
 
Open Mouse in the Control Panel (click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, and then Mouse)
 
 
Under Buttons, you can adjust the double-click speed to your preference. Just slide the Speed setting left or right to adjust. (NOTE: I use an optical mouse with Windows XP, so your interface and options may vary. You may need to search around for this feature).
 
On the Pointer Options tab, under Motion, drag the slider make the mouse faster or slower.
 
 
While you're in Mouse Properties, look around at the other cool stuff that might be available to personalize your mousing experience.
