Reverse Mouse Wheel scroll direction

Posted on April 28, 2018 by john_user

It used to be easy to reverse mouse wheel scrolling direction. I’m talking mouse wheel, not touchpad:

Now it takes a registry hack.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HID

In there, find the right key name (eg: “VID_046D&PID_C52F&MI_00“) and under that, Device Parameters\FlipFlopWheel set from 0 to 1.

Windows Aero Taskbar Icon Hover Thumbnail Threshold to Show List

Posted on April 28, 2018 by john_user

Below threshold Windows Aero will show thumbnails. But over threshold, because the thumbnails would be too small, it’ll show list instead.

Set:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband\NumThumbnails

to DWORD(32bit) 10 or whatever number you want.
