Changing the scroll wheel double click

[Arohbe]

We have an older engineering in our office who is constantly double clicking his scroll wheel by accident and doing a zoom extents on his layout. Its funny to hear him curse his computer over and over but I want to help him. He's running LT 2005. I don't see where I can change it. Its not part of the mouse button customization.

Setting MBUTTONPAN to 0 will disable the scroll wheel double click zoom extents but it will also disable panning while holding down the scroll wheel. It will also cause the osnap pop up menu to appear any time you click or double click the scroll wheel, which would be just as annoying as the zoom extents. It's best to just leave MBUTTONPAN set to 1. He just needs to learn to stop double clicking the scroll wheel. Maybe you could hook up a wire to his mouse so he will get a little shock every time he double clicks the scroll wheel. I bet he would stop doing it then. Although he would probably curse even louder.

Heh, Cliff Clavin learning methodology.

Try changing his mouse;

Ive had problems in the past where the mouse thinks you are double clicking the wheel when you rotate it fast fast. Some mouses are better than others.

(and yes the plural of computer mouse is mouses not mice - strange but true).

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't disable his "pan", it's his main way of moving around. I tried the shock method but he noticed the 12 gauge Romex attached to his mouse right away. So I will try to switch mouses (dosen't sound right) with him.
