====== Fixing middle click on ThinkPads ======
In computing's never-ending march to slowly render mad anyone who actually knows how to operate a computer, Lenovo has hidden the option to have the ThinkPad middle click button actually middle click -- they think the world is better served with a crappy forced scroll option.

Here's how to repair this needless damage, courtesy of [[https://techne.alaya.net/?p=12008|here]]:

  * In regedit:
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTPEnh\UltraNavPS2 : TrackPointMode -- change from 1214 to 2214 (hex)
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\StickPS2 : MiddleButtonAction -- change from 0 to 4
  * Reboot
  * Don't mess with the UltraNav settings; they will silently re-ruin these settings
