Mouse Configuration

The Buttons

From the Start menu, select the Control Panel. Now select Printers and Other Hardware and double-click on the mouse icon and the Mouse properties window will open, as in the example below. On the Buttons tab you can adjust the set up of the mouse to suit your needs. By default the left mouse button executes the drag and select functions.

This, however, can be uncomfortable if you are left handed. Windows XP allows you to change the configuration of the buttons so that the right button realizes these functions.

To switch the button functions:

Select the option Switch primary and secondary buttons.

To Apply Click on Apply or OK.

Note: We can also adjust the Double-click speed by moving the slider.

For a slower double-click, mover the slider to the Left.

For faster double-click, move the Slider to the Right.

If you want to be able to drag an object without having to hold down the mouse select the option Turn on Click Lock.
