left handed mouse keeps switching back to right handed

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I have lots of left handed customers running their
mice as left handers. They have no problem with it.

One particular customer with XP-Pro-SP2 can not
seem to keep it in left handed operation. He is
using the stock mouse drivers. I switch it over
to left handed operation. Two weeks later, he is
complaining it is back to right handed operation.
(He is not smart enough to do it himself.)

Is there something I can put in start up that will
automatically program it back?

Many thanks,
-T

Really now, how hard is it to teach him how to do it himself?

I suspect you could ask in microsoft.public.scripting.wsh about a
startup script that could be run each time he turns the computer on.

I'm a left-hander myself, but I keep the mouse in the usual right-hand
mode, even though I sometimes switch it to the left of the keyboard and
use it with my left hand.

He has brain damage and limited mobility in his hands. He
also has limited short term memory retention. Yes, it is
pretty hard to teach him.
