How can I
change the mouse's wheel scroll rate?
The mouse
wheel is very handy when you want to
scroll through Office documents or Web
pages.
By
default, wheel mice move up or down
three lines for each notch you roll on
the mouse wheel. While you can adjust
this setting within the software that
came with your mouse, you'll typically
be able to choose between the following
settings: 3 Lines, 6 Lines, Screen, and
None.
If you
have one of the larger monitors and are
using a high resolution setting, you'll
probably find that you'll want to use a
setting other than these. You can
fine-tune how far your mouse scrolls
with each one-notch rotation by editing
the following Registry value:
You can
set the WheelScrollLines to a value from
0 to 4294967294. A value of 0 disables
scrolling altogether, and 4294967294
configures your mouse to scroll one page
with each one-notch rotation.
Why use
these mysterious numbers no one knows...
BTW, some
commercial mouse vendors provide their
own set of mouse-tweaking programs. See
if your mouse maker has such features. |
