Hello,
Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 2000 (Keyboard + Mouse).
The wheel is a bit hard to press. Tilting is softer and easier.
Is it possible to change the tilt function (horizontal scroll) to middle-click?
I'd appreciate your help.
Have you installed your Microsoft mouse/keyboard program?
Have you checked using Windows 7 Updates for updates to the program?
The program should show you what functions your may change to your liking.
I don't believe that you can adjust how hard the wheel is to press.
I haven't used a 2000 M/S mouse in years so I just going by memory.
It appears to be the correct one.
Check and see if you have it installed already.
Did you check Windows 7 Updates for a update for your mouse?
Thanks again Layback Bear. I appreciate your kind help.
I've installed the driver; - options are only available for the keyboard.
Can I assume it's impossible to change the mouse functions?
Try this.
Reboot and then go to
Start Orb and type in mouse and see if a program for you mouse appears in the list.
Then go to Device Manager and look (Mine indicates Logitech because that is the type of mouse I use.)
Nothing.
In the Device Manager under Keyboards Microsoft is in the list, but under Mice just a generic HID compatible.
Thanks.
Did you try the Start Orb method?
Did you try Windows 7 Updates?
Take a look here.

Allow me to thank you again. Really kind of you.
The Start Orb method I tried earlier.
I've just tried Windows Update. Nothing.
I've also installed the MouseKeyboardCenter app: there's an option to disable horizontal scrolling, but not to assign middle-click to tilting.

It appears that your mouse doesn't have that option.
I haven't used a mouse that old in a very long time, I can't remember what options came with it.
