I am regularly switching between OSX and Window7 and I kind of got used to the new scrolling direction introduced with OSX 10.7 (Lion).
Therefore I thought it would be nice to have this scrolling consistent across both platforms.
Looking for a way to reverse the scrolling direction on Window 7 I found this solution on superuser.com (http://superuser.com/questions/310681/inverting-direction-of-mouse-scroll-wheel):
-
Find the hardware ID of the mouse
- Go to the mouse control panel
- Select “Hardware” tab
- Click “Properties” button
- Select “Details” tab
- From the drop-down list choose “Hardware IDs”
- Save the VID*** entry ( e.g. VID_045E&PID_0039 )
-
Find and change the corresponding configuration settings in the registry
- Run regedit.exe
- Open Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HID
- Here you should find an entry for the hardware ID of your mouse
- In all sub-keys of the hardware id key look for the “DeviceParameters” key and change the “FlipFlopWheel” value from 0 to 1
-
Make it work
- Unplug the mouse
- Count to five :-)
- Plug the mouse back in
