Very useful app! All those programs that don't have mouse-wheel control, you can hook them using Katmouse via class or via app name. I use it to set the scroll for dropdown boxes in Access, and for panels in chm files. I use it also on certain windows in Indesign and NoteTab. Very useful! It doesn't *always* work, and you have to tell it NOT to work on some programs like Foxit Reader. Good show!

It is a small program which does exactly what it says, no more no less. It makes my life a lot easier, not having to give any pane the focus. Just hover over it with the mouse and scroll.

The Windows program I use the most is Windows Explorer. In a dual-pane view, either one side or the other has the focus, and it's a pain to have to click on one to scroll; this small program eliminates that. It's the first thing I load on a new system.

Before installing this software, Paperport 8.0 would not scroll with the wheel on 2 of my 3 pc's. No idea why. Now it does. Wonderful! Additionally, I really like clicking the middle wheel to change focus between open windows. Many thanks to the author!

Makes browsing much easier and more intuitive, especially if you have several visible windows or frames at once. I didn't like the "wheel-button" option, but you can configure that or turn it off (I have). Works for Explorer, IE, Netscape, Outlook, Word, Adobe etc without any fuss, and doesn't interfere with my intellimouse driver settings either. And it's free...
