As you problably already know the game runs beneath steam. So when you start it there is no direct cs.exe. So in intellimouse when it asks me which program I want it to switch keys in I can't. Is there anyway I can get program specific keys to work in counter-strike source?

There is. Steam launches HL.EXE when you run CS:S. In any case, you can always tell the software to reassign keys to Steam's exe if you're too lazy to find where HL.EX is...

Mine is here: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\USERNAME\counter-strike source\hl.exe

Oh and if you have Day of Defeat, the hl.exe is different, so you can have the software reassign keys depending on which steam game you're playing.

i.e. for DoD: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\USERNAME\day of defeat\hl.exe

Oh man, that's brilliant. I only use those two side buttons for next page/previous page in IE.

I'll probably set mine to rifle/pistol. I hate trying to get the scrolling right on.
