Mouse Wheel - Scroll In Non-Focused Windows

I switched from an A4Tech to a Logitech mouse driver and lost the
ability to scroll (with the wheel) in windows next to and under the
window that has focus without clicking in them. Could that be a registry
value I can insert?

TIA

Re: Mouse Wheel - Scroll In Non-Focused Windows

I've had good results with a little tray app that does what you want
(without fiddling with the registry) called KatMouse:

As an added bonus, it provides scroll mouse wheel functionality for older
apps that don't support the wheel.

Thanks so much. It is so groovy!

Do you know of one that makes the center button pan, like the hand tool
in Adobe Reader?

I'm afraid not. Sounds like a good idea though.

The iOfficeworks 7.8 driver for my A4Tech Swop80 mouse could do it. It
works for the Logitech mouse, but the Logitech SetPoint gives me faster
action so I've kissed that feature goodbye.
