Trouble with Intellimouse Explorer

[Latsh]

Hi.
I'm using "Wireless Intellimouse Explorer" with "Intellipoint 4.1" software.
Every time I start the computer, I have to run "dplaunch.exe Mouse CPL"
and exit without doing anything in order for re-assigned buttons to work.
When I open the mouse program, the button assignments are as I set them,
but they won't work untill I exit. Then all is well until next re-boot.
Thanks in advance.

google for "IntelliPoint 5.4" and download that version of the mouse
driver install it. After reboot go into control panel | mouse and setup
your buttons again. 5.4 was a final v5 driver, it was stable and solid.
the latest v6 drivers have extra baggage for newer mice that you do not
need/want.

Yeah, it will - they call it "Next Window" however, only because the
GLOBAL handler already intercepts alt-tab as the task switcher. But the
"next window" setting does pretty much the same thing. Whatever, if
you're happy then fine...
