Starting MS mouse Magnify function via keyboard

[Guest skydiver]

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

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.

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.
