Utility*** Found a great little gem that allow u quick access to websites/apps/prgrms by using your mouse's xtra buttons

Flexiblesoft Launcher is a program that allows you one mouse-click access to a pop-up menu of your favorite shortcuts, minimizing use of valuable desktop space and system resources.By extending mouse functionality, your customized pad of shortcuts appears with the click of a mouse or a combination that you specify. Click one of the shortcuts on your pad, and your application is launched


I really love the feature of webwheel on my logitech mouse where I can save 5 of my favorite sites and simply go to them with the click of my middle finger...

This program goes ALOT Further I think anyone who need very quick access to any folder or favorite URL's has to try this out!

It's such a time saver .... rather than having to jump into my favorites all I do is configure almost any button on my mouse (I use my middle click down scroll button) but you can use any button you like ... The program brings up 9 (visible) places I can put folders or shortcuts or even programs.... You can move around pizza pie style and one click to lauch any of them...

A lot of you have said that you still use auto scroll ... Well auto scroll still works just move your mouse up or down to scroll, one caveat of this is you have to keep the mouse inside the laucher area. If you move the mouse outside it stops scrolling.

My current 9 items

ROW 1
techbargains/bens/ebay completed search

ROW 2
anandtech/fatwallet/amazon

ROW3
My documents/my downloads/program files

ROW4-8
Scroll down to configure them.

Your scroll still works normally.... its just the click action of your scroll wheel..

I use my middle button to scroll sometimes by clicking it and dragging. (For long pages)

ever since I've been able to I've used the middle button for double clicking. I don't think I could switch to a different button being dblclick now.

I don't use the scroll button, but the side button on my Logitech Cordless Freedom... I'm surprised it still works, as many times as I use it to go back. Such a handy button.

Neat little program and this would be great in the software forum.

That's what I use my thumb button for.

The first wheel mice didn't have thumb buttons, so I set the middle to dclick. After I got a fancy Logitech with the thumb button I tried that as dclick and couldn't get used to it. The thumb button is set to 'back' for browsing.
