Remap tilt wheel functionality?

I enjoy the possibilities of the horizontal tilt wheel on the new Microsoft
mice, but I have a hard time using it to actually scroll horizontally in any
program. Can the functionality be reprogrammed? For instance, I would like
to tilt the wheel left to go Back in IE, and right to go Forward. For sake
of completeness, I have the Optical Desktop 2.0 Comfort Edition, with the
Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0.

Thanks in advance,
Brian Abram

Go to Start > Run and type:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliPoint\dplaunch.exe" mouse help

When Microsoft Mouse Help opens, type: TILT , in the Search box
and hit enter to see several help topics about programming.

The way to write it is explicit, INCLUDING the quotation marks.....

I ran this program, searched for TILT, and received four help topics:
· Adjusting the horizontal scrolling movement
· Horizontal scrolling settings
· IntelliPoint default button and wheel assignments
· Turning off horizontal scrolling

None of these give information on how to reprogram the horizontal tilt wheel
functionality. I can reprogram the three buttons (left, right, and wheel)
with no problem. I can also turn off the vertical or horizontal scrolling
or adjust its speed. But there does not seem to be anything to reprogram
the side-to-side action within IntelliPoint 5.2, to the best of my knowledge
(which is limited, granted).

That is a correct assessment.

You can't reassign
scrollwheelup/scrollwheeldown/scrollwheelleft/scrollwheelright events to
anything else other than the defaults with Intellipoint.

The application in question would have to provide an interface to change
these defaults.
