/me wonders why you are able to read forums but not helpfiles

anyway, taken from the helpfile :

To create a new script:

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to a folder of your choice.
Pull down the File menu and choose New >> AutoHotkey Script (or Text Document).
Type a name for the file, ensuring that it ends in .ahk. For example: Test.ahk
Right-click the file and choose Edit Script.

install autohotkey using the executable from autohotkey.com

start > run > notepad

copy paste the lines i gave you earlier

ctrl-s > navigate to your desktop in the pulldown menu > save as mouse.ahk

close notepad

at your desktop, double click the file you just saved.

it should now work(for most people)

there may be reasons why it won't work for you, but i don't feel like troubleshooting

Hey, does that work for other mouses as well? As for myself i am using a logitech mx510

for the first two extra buttons, most will support and call them XButton1 and XButton2

but like for my diamondback i dont think they have names for the 2 extra buttons on the other side... and diamondback drivers are really unreliable, only working like 10% of the time.

so in addition to numpad 7 and 8 on XButton1 and XButton2, i have added control-XButton1 and control-XButton2 for 4 and 5 so i can use 4 of the inventory slots with my mouse or ctrl-mouse ^^
