    Hi guys,

    Is there a shorcut I can use on my mouse i.e middle button to activate "switch between windows" rather than having to click the button in the taskbar?

    Thanks.

    I'm not sure about the mouse but on the keyboard it is windows flag + tab. What kind of mouse do you have? There are some 3rd party addons that you can use that will allow you to mount certain keys.

    No mouse shortcut out of the box. Its WIN+TAB. Another switching type would be ALT+TAB

    As said above. Alt + Tab and Windows + Tab both work.

    Thanks guys.

    I think thats pretty poo to be honest. I hope there is a tweak out at some point to change this. It would be a lot easier for me to have the option of the mouse.

    I have a Logitech Bluetooth V270 mouse.

    Thanks.

    PERFECT! Do you use Logitech Setpoint? If you do go look for Ubersoft. Actually let me give you the link.

    I've been giving people this link for some time and it is really cool. You can customize any button the mouse to do more than what Logitech had in mind. =)

    Download Logitech SetPoint and map your scroll key to document flip. Enjoy ;)

    Place a shortcut on your desktop, then in control panel -> mouse, set your button to it.

    Yes I have that installed but it still doesn't work pickup my mouse.

    What Bluetooth software are you using? Im using this...

    http://www.broadcom.com/products/bluetooth_update.php

    Could it be that Logitech is imcompatible with this?

    p.s. juts like to stress that my mouse does work but the logitech software doesnt pick it up so i cant customise what buttons do what.
