    sorry I should have been more clear, shift+ mouse scroll = back/forward on webpages, reasons I don't like it and want to disable it is cause I use meebo.com for my MSN, AIM & yahoo IM all in one page, and I'm using a very small hp laptop, my right palm always touching the scroll up/down section of the touchpad of the laptop, so many times I chat i accidently hold shift then the palm touches the scroll pad then navi away from meebo.com as it rolls to previous page thus kicking me out then I have to re-log in again, through a 20 mins chat I probably have to log in 4-5 times, so by disabling this function will eliminate my trouble. how that helps, thanks.
