Additional Use Notes

• W10Wheel.NET, like any Windows program, is constrained by privileges and can't manipulate apps that run with higher privilege levels. In other words, in order to work in admin windows, which range from Windows Computer Management (Device Manager, Disk Management, Task Scheduler, Event Viewer, Task Manager, etc) and "How do you want to open this file?" pop-ups to any app run as administrator by the user, W10Wheel must be running as an administrator. The easiest and best way to do this is by doing the following:

  1. Create a shortcut to it (right-click -> Create Shortcut)

  2. Place the shortcut in the startup folder (open file explorer and enter %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup into the location bar and press enter, or use C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp to add it to startup for all users, then put the shortcut there)

  3. Then (this sometimes, though not always--so best to just be safe--has to be done after moving the shortcut) open the shortcut's properties (Alt+double-click or right-click -> Properties (at the bottom of the pop-up)

  4. Set it to run as administrator one of two ways (not sure what the difference is, but either should work, though I think the second is necessary to make it work for all users; UAC may pop up asking for confirmation, so just say yes if it does)

     • Shortcut tab -> Advanced (Alt+d) -> Check "Run as administrator" (Alt+r) -> OK -> OK
     • Compatibility tab -> "Run this program as an administrator" (Settings section) -> OK

  5. This can also be done via the registry, but this should only be done by advanced users who know what they're doing and with a particular need to do so, and is only included to show the necessary locations and values. First, create the proper value (string where the name is whatever you want (e.g. W10Wheel.NET) and the data is the path of W10Wheel, including the exe) under HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (to add to startup for current user or everyone, respectively), then set to run as admin by creating values in HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers or HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers (string with name=path including exe and data=RUNASADMIN).

• Browsers have an "autoscroll" feature that can cause unexpected and unwanted behavior when scrolling with the middle mouse button (MMB). With this enabled, if the MMB is pressed while the cursor is completely still, it will activate a fast scrolling method which can be difficult to control and can't be deactivated unless the MMB is pressed while the cursor is again completely still (which can be difficult sometimes due to TrackPoint drift). To disable this in Firefox and its forks, depending on the version, go into Options > General > Scroll down to "Browsing" section > uncheck "use autoscrolling" or Options > Advanced > General > uncheck "Use autoscrolling." In Chrome/Brave/Vivaldi use the "No smooth scroll 2" extension (no need to activate it and it doesn't have any settings, but note extensions don't work on the store page, so switch to another tab and reload it to test).
