Microsoft Intellipoint Mouse and TAB Instant Viewer

Something to note is that although the default setting for the middle-click within the Intellipoint software is to open the Instant Viewer, you can still retain the middle-click behavior for Internet Explorer to open a new tab when clicking on a link:

1. Open the Microsoft Mouse software and check the box labeled "Enable program-specific settings" on the first tab - this enables the settings button
2. Click on settings, click on add and select iexplore.exe
3. Change the "Wheel button" setting to Middle-click instead of Instant Viewer
4. Hit OK and then OK again.

Now when you use IE you can use the Middle-click option on a link to launch a new tab.

However, this will negate the ability to use the Instant Viewer with the middle-click as program-specific settings will override the general settings.
