Hi. I'm lloking for a freeware utility to scroll windows with the
mouse wheel without having to click on them first. I've used one
utility for that some time ago, but I don't remember how was the app
called. Any help will be welcomed.

Regards.

Just thought I'd pass this on for those that have thoughts of trying it
out:

KatMouse System Requirements:

Since KatMouse uses functionality only available on the NT line of
Microsoft operating systems, KatMouse will run on NT(SP3+), Windows 2000
and XP, but not 9x and ME. Sorry about that...

Hi;

I just found this myself, for exactly the same reason. And it
doesn't seem to mind my A4Tech mouse driver at all, even though he
mentions IntelliPoint mouse.

FreeWheel 2.4
-------------

For the latest information, see the web page at:

What is FreeWheel?
------------------

FreeWheel provides mouse wheel support for applications which do not
directly support the IntelliPoint mouse wheel. It runs on Windows 9x
and Windows NT as a tray icon, which you can hide if you dislike
clutter in your tray.

FreeWheel supports the 'default' mode of operation, where rotating
the wheel causes the active ('focus') window to scroll, and an
alternative mode where the window directly underneath the mouse
pointer is scrolled (this is the one I prefer). Note that only
windows within the active application can be scrolled. You can switch
between documents in an application by holding down Ctrl+Shift while
rotating the mouse wheel, and you can switch between applications by
holding down Alt and rotating the wheel.

FreeWheel caters for the possibility of conflicts with applications
that directly support the wheel by allowing you to specify a list of
applications.

FreeWheel can either include or exclude applications which appear in
this list.

FreeWheel is free, so there are no irritating nag screens, no
timeouts, and no guilt associated with failing to register!
