Used to remap your mouse buttons. May have different mappings for different apps.

Install, copy files, uninstall.

There are some instances where AutoHotkey doesn't work well, but this application does (applications that hook mouse keys). It also can scroll background windows.

I was looking to find the x64 equivalent of AlwaysMouseWheel and just happen on X-Mouse Button Control; it does what AlwaysMouseWheel does and much more, has discrete x32 and x64 versions in the downloadable package, and seems to be portable upon extraction without any tricks; it is even able to make screenshots and save your desktop icon layout, something I find essential in Windows XP; I haven't tested it thoroughly but I'm pretty impressed with it.EDIT: I think the very professional looking User Guide deserves to be mentioned, too. It's at http://mirror.highrez.co.uk/downloads/X-Mouse Button Control User Guide.pdf.





Currently at v2.5 (changelog: http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/xmbc_changelog.htm).

Download: http://www.highrez.co.uk/scripts/download.asp?package=XMouse

This is a great program for mice with more than 3 buttons. I'm very impressed. However, I was unable to extract version 2.5 according to either the instructions provided or those in comments.

Here's what did work (tested on my XP SP3 machine):

Proposed new extract instructions:

1. Download and unzip the archive
2. In 7-zip, open the XMouseButtonControlSetup.2.5.exe file
3. There are two XMouseButtonHook.dll and two XMouseButtonControl.exe files. Copy the smaller versions of both files to a folder of your choice
4. Optionally, copy over the X-Mouse Button Control User Guide.pdf
5. Launch XMouseButtonControl.exe

Settings appear to be written to XMBCSettings.xml so I'm not sure if the /portable tag is necessary any longer.

I extracted easily with UniExtractor (updated by Gora to v1.6.1.63), although I chose to rename similar named files (XMouseButtonControl.exe, XMouseButtonHook.dll and XMouseButtonSvc.exe; duplicates are caused by the coexistence of both x32 and x64 versions inside the installer; localization files will be in the extracted $APPDATA folder, which can be deleted if you don't need them).I can't recall right now, but I presume this will result in the x32 version, right?

Finally got back to this:

> I can't recall right now, but I presume this will result in the x32 version, right?

Yes. I've been using the x32 program on a x64 system for about a month now. Works okay, but obviously want to use the version that's tested for the appropriate system...

> Portable mode is automatically enabled if the application is not in the install location under \program files.

In my testing, the installer creates registry entries even when installed outside the Program Files folder:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Highresolution Enterprises\XMouseButtonControl SettingsFolder REG_SZ .
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\X-Mouse Button Control
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData

Anyway I came up with a possible system. Can someone test? I don't know if step 5 is necessary.


1. Download the installer and launch
   
2. When prompted, save to the default folder and when asked for directory, enter "." (no quotes)
3. Uninstall and copy contents to a folder of your choice
4. Launch XMouseButtonControl.exe /portable
5. 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)
• Disable the "new version check": double-click the tray icon, click "Settings" in the lower left corner, choose the Advanced tab and uncheck "Check for new version every..."
• Delete uninst.exe
