I have bought Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. It’s working just as I want it except that “back” button on the left side. I constantly hit it with the thumb and browser goes back. I am not used to this behavior, since my older mouse didn’t have such a button. I just want to get rid of it — disable the button once and forever, so if I clicked it — nothing should happen.
Solution:
Do you have the Microsoft IntelliPoint “Mouse Properties” installed? If not get over to here and download and then install it.
Once you have the first tab “Buttons” lets you configure the button actions. Just select then “Right side button” drop down and select “Disabled”.
Click “OK” or “Apply” and you’re done.
NOTE: “Back” is actually on the left side button, so just replace “right” with “left” in the above description if you really meant that button.
