Mouse 'back' button as middle button in PRO/e Wildfire

Hi all

I would be very glad if i could use the thomb 'back' button on my mouse for
both 'middle' button in PRO/e and as 'back' button in Internet explorer. I
really hate to use the wheel button in PRO/e, but ican not live without my
'back' button, when i browse the web.

Can somebody tell me how to configure PRO/e wildfire to use the 'back'
button on my mouse as middle button instead of the wheel button?

I know it is possible, if i change the function for the 'back' button to
'middle' buttom in the mouse driver. But if i do this, the 'back button do
not work in Internet explorer.

OS: Windows XP Pro.
Mouse: Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer
CAD: Pro/engineer wildfire

Sorry for my poor english...

Thanks in advance

KH,

This is very simple to do. If you are using an Intellimouse, I expect
that you have the Intellipoint software installed. This came with the
mouse, or you can download it from Microsoft.

In the Intellipoint software under the Buttons tab there is a
check-box for 'Enable Program Specific settings'. Check it off and
then select the 'Settings' button.

Under 'Programs', select 'Add' and browse to your installation folder
for ProE, then into i486nt\obj and pick the file 'xtop.exe' (this is
the ProE executable). Define the buttons as you want them to work and
click Apply. Now ProE will use those settings and all other
applications will use the default settings.

Thank you very much. In the first place i could not find this option in the
Intellipoint 5.0 driver, but a little google search helped me to find out
that this option only exists in the 4.x Intellipoint drivers.
