Since we have got scroll wheels in our mice and touch-screens in our tablets/phones, we are not really using scroll bars for scrolling any more. So it makes sense to assign the mouse wheel direction to the actual scrolling direction (upwards = upwards), rather than to the position of the scroll thumb. This is how to do it in Windows 7 (fastest way):
- Copy this text:
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HID\*\*\Device` Parameters FlipFlopWheel -EA 0 | ForEach-Object { Set-ItemProperty $_.PSPath FlipFlopWheel 1 }
- Press / click Start.
- In search field, type
powershell
. - In the results, right-click
Windows PowerShell
, and clickRun as Administrator
. - In the PowerShell, go to menu (press Alt+Space) > Edit > Paste, press Enter.
- PowerShell just returns to the prompt again.
- Unplug and plug in your mouse.
That’s it. There will be no response from PowerShell, but the mouse wheel direction should be flipped now.
