    can you modify the behavior of an on-screen MS Mouse selection ?


    Awhile back I had to replace my mouse on my Win 7 Pro 64bit PC. My issue is with the old mouse...if you high-lighted a word or text phrase I could immediately replace the highlighted word or phase with the paste command.

    Also...while online...if I highlighted a word or phrase on a web page...I could simply right click and launch a Bing or Google serch from the right click pop-up menu.

    With the new mouse...I highlight my target as before...but now...I have to click once on the highlited items and then porceed. Previously all I had to do is highlight the item(s) and go....no left click neccessary

    Is this a particular setting in the MS setup screens...or just a factor I can't modify with this mouse ?

    I DL'd the Mouse and Keyboard Centre for my Arc Mouse. The program is a real benefit, its totally customizable.
    The attachment only shows you the 'Basic Settings', not the 'App-Specific Settings.
