   mouse button

   From: Cibiras@BellSouth.net   
      
   Looking for help with my mouse buttons. I have 4   
   users, including myself, set up on XP pro. When   
   one of the other users is on before me, the mouse   
   buttons are reversed when I get back on. I have   
   gone into the control panel and changed this back,   
   by unchecking the box, at least 50 times. I have   
   searched Google, and a number of Windows books,   
   but can locate no additional information beyond   
   the basic options available in the "mouse" section   
   of the control panel.   
      
   When I look at the mouse settings in the control   
   panel for each of the other users, the box marked   
   "switch primary and secondary buttons" is not   
   checked. It is not checked on mine now, but if one   
   of the other users logs on, then off, and I log   
   back on, the buttons will once again be reversed.   
      
   I can't figure out if this is a registry setting   
   or what, but somehow it seems to be a default   
   situation creating the change. I do not have any   
   idea how this occurred, and thus have no idea   
   where to go to fix it.   
      
   Any info on how I can make the box stay   
   "unchecked" would be most appreciated.   
      
   Thanks in advance.
