Default to left-handed mouse

[Nick Payne]

I have changed the mouse settings for my profile to left handed, but I
notice that the login screen after the machine initially boots still thinks
that the mouse is right handed. Is it possible to change settings so that
the initial login screen also uses left handed settings. I had a look in
gpedit.msc but couldn't see anything under computer configuration that could
be set. OS is Windows XP Pro SP2.

Hi Nick,

Download TweakUI and install it.
Launch TweakUI and select "Logon"
Click "Settings"
Put a checkmark near "Mouse"
Click "Copy Now"
Click Apply, OK.

The mouse settings are now copied to the logon desktop.
