Guest skydiver Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Hello folks, I have a MS optical mouse 2000 and use the MS Intelipoint software. My favorite function is the magnify function, and I have assigned the middle button click to invoke it. I'm pretty happy with this feature, but I wish I could in some way start this functionality using a keyboard shortcut, so I could be able to use the middle button click for something else. I use AutoHotKey to create some scripts here and if I could find a way to start this functionality in a command-line way, so I could write a script to bring it up every time I used CTRL + middle click. I found out that when the Magnify function is active it show up the Magnify.exe process in the Task Manager, and this file is located in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliPoint\Components\Commands\DPGMgy" but unfortunately I wasn't able to start it by typing the shortcut or clicking over it (nothing happens). I believe there must be a way for me to start it using the process ipoint.exe. Can someone shine me a light on this? I've been trying to figure out a way to do this all day and wasn't successful. By the way, I'm using Windows XP Pro SP3 Andre

Guest skydiver Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Re: Starting MS mouse Magnify function via keyboard Hi Kelly, thank you for you reply, but that's not exactly what I was looking for. I forgot to mention that the magnify function I'm using, as far as I know is not related to the magnify already included in Windows XP (which is the one that's started using the win + U ) As I said, this tool comes up with the microsoft mouse driver. I know where the .exe is located and there must be some way to load it other then just setting it in the intellipoint software. The software in the webpage seems to be nice, but it's not free =( Anyways, thanks you very much for the tip. I'm still expecting some other solution.

Guest Jerryo100 Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Re: Starting MS mouse Magnify function via keyboard I would also like to know how to do this. I have a MS laser desktop and would like to assign the magnify function to one of the keyboards programable keys. Been searching for a way to do this for over a year now with no luck.
