    Hi all,
    I was wondering if anyone had stumbled onto a mod or hack for windows 7 that allowed for scrolling of an inactive window (i.e. "not focused on") WITH a touchpad. I found several programs that allowed for this, but does not work with a synaptic touchpad.

    What I intend to use this for is to have a word document open on one side of the screen and a .pdf viewer on the other, i can scroll through the pdf while making notes without having to unfocus my document.

    thanks!
