Mouse Defaults when Running as Admin

Thanks Malke

I have tried that, but it made no difference. I have even reinstalled the
mouse drivers by uninstalling then running the mouse driver exe as admin and
no luck.

Then I guess you have to live with it. Generally you only run a specific
task as administrator for a limited time, so it shouldn't be too onerous to
use Ctrl-C, etc. for a little while.

Sorry I was unable to help you.

Hi,

As Malke has indicated, when you do that you are actually invoking a
different user account. You need to actually log in to that user account and
change configuration setttings for the mouse.
