I don't know the Microsoft Intellimouse, but I assume that, like most Microsoft mice, it only has two buttons. Under these circumstances, you should really consider getting a new mouse, such as a Logitech 3 button mouse. If you also use Microsoft software, you'll be interested to know that Logitech supply a driver which emulates Microsoft's silly double-click with a press of the middle button. Greg
