| Switch the Mouse Buttons for Left-Handed Users SUMMARY: Change Windows XP's mouse button orientation to better-suit left-handed users.
In Windows XP, the left mouse button defaults to selecting or double-clicking items. The right mouse button pops up alternate menus depending on where the mouse pointer is positioned. Left-handed mouse users may find this irritating, finding the right mouse button easier to click than the left. If so, you can make the right mouse button act like the left one, and vice versa.
1. First, open Windows XP's Mouse Control Panel.
2. On the "Mouse Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box that follows, select the "Buttons" tab.
3. Check "Switch primary and secondary buttons".
4. When done, press "OK" to close the dialog box.
