    I looked this up and didn't really find anything about it so i thought I'd share.

    If you push both mouse buttons at the same time you have auto scroll.

    Where the heck did you dig out this arcane bit of info? I never use it but it is interesting that it does this.

    To be honest I'm not sure what I was doing to figure it out. It just popped up on the screen. So I had to figure it out then :)

    It does not work on my CF-29N running Win7. Could this actually be a feature of XP or your browser?

    When my CF-30 arrives in a week or two I will try this trick out and see if it works on those too

    BTW, my preferred method to scroll on any laptop if I don't have an external mouse connected is to use spacebar (to scroll down) or SHIFT-spacebar (to scroll back up)...it's a leftover from the good old days I find quite effective
