X-Mouse Button Control (XMBC) allows you to set a variety of controls for your mouse. For example, you can set a button copy, paste, undo, volume up/down, forward-backward (in browser), scrolling background windows, and many more.

Changes can be application-specific, meaning simply changing applications will automatically swap mouse controls, but they can also be user-managed and based on a hot-key. So your mouse can work as basic volume controls for your music player as well as back and forward buttons for your browser.

Category:
System Requirements: Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7

How to extract: See this thread as extract instructions are below are under review.

---
  1. Download the installer and extract everything to a temporary folder
  2. Move XMouseButtonControl.exe, XMouseButtonHook.dll, msvcm90.dll, msvcp90.dll, msvcr90.dll to a folder of your choice (outside of the C:\Program Files directory)
  3. Launch XMouseButtonControl.exe /Portable
  4. Disable the "new version check" option and, using a registry editor, delete the HKCU\Software\Highresolution Enterprises key.
Optionally, to make more stealth: prevent the creation of a log file with the command line switch /NoLog will (or set <Logging Disable="true"/> in XMBCSettings.xml)

FYI (from http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/xmbc_changelog.htm and XMBC's TPFC forum entry):
"Portable mode is automatically enabled if the application is not in the install location under \program files. It is also enabled if the /portable command line switch is specified."

Is this a mouse gestures program?

No, it is not stealth/portable, installs C++ runtime lib ...

@jagam

Could you be more specific? What file is installed when and where?

Hi Infimum :-)
You know..the installer embed with x86/64 of VC9 Runtime where will mess your system.

Here my simple (not thoroughly tested) v1.53 x86 portable creation.
Extract the installer..then "x86.VC90Runtime.msi" file.
Move XMouseButtonControl_1.exe - XMouseButtonHook_1.dll - msvcm90.dll - msvcp90.dll - msvcr90.dll to another folder.
Ren XMouseButtonControl_1.exe to XMouseButtonControl.exe and XMouseButtonHook_1.dll to XMouseButtonHook.dll
Create a Portable batch file (XMouseButtonControl.exe /Portable).
Launch your batch file..and disable the "New Version check" option.
Then delete "HKCU\Software\Highresolution Enterprises" key.
Yup..your Portable X-Mouse Button Control is ready :-)

Extraction instructions should reflect the inclusion of both x32 and x64 files in the setup package. Also and according to XMBC forums (@ http://forums.highrez.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=4446#p4446) there's a portable package available: http://www.highrez.co.uk/scripts/download.asp?package=XMousePortable. All in all, an impressive app...

V2.5

This program completely rules. An amazing amount of features for a freeware mouse tweaking program. I have a Logitech mouse with two buttons I *never* used that now dramatically speed up my work.

V2.5
