I like to use the left mouse button as the main button; my wife
prefers the right. Is there a quick and easy way to change this back
and forth so we don't have to have separate user accounts?

only going into control panel> mouse > buttons and ticking the switch
buttons box as far as I'm aware

Use caution; I've never tried their software.

C/Net site.. first "hit" looks like a good one. It doesn't mention XP
though:

Open Notepad. Copy/paste following-

obsS=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
obsS.Run("control mouse")
do{
WScript.Sleep(240)
}while(!obsS.AppActivate("Mouse Prop"))
obsS.Sendkeys(" ");WScript.Sleep(75);
obsS.SendKeys("~")


Save it with JS extension then run it when you want to change buttons.

Good Luck, Ayush.
