1 General

Run in background mode: when selected BasicMouse doesn’t show the main screen but directly runs in stealth mode (in the systray) with the chosen configuration.
When you exit BasicMouse (or press CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-C) you will be given the possibility to reconfigure your settings / disable background mode.
 

• Run at windows startup: checking this box puts a registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, each time you start the computer (with the same user account) BasicMouse will automatically launch.
• Auto Save last configuration: Auto save last configuration saves the (mouse) keys you choose to an xml file and loads them back the next time you start the program, in combination with ‘Run at windows startup’ you can even put the program in your 'startup items' this way forcing the computer to start with a pre-defined keyboard and mouse configuration!
• Exit password: by setting an exit password (minimum of 5 characters) you make sure users aren’t able to bypass the mouse and keyboard restrictions with this password check.

2 Mouse

 Disable left, right, middle mouse or scroll buttons or select "Merge mouse buttons" so all 3 mouse buttons (left - right and middle) act like a left mouse button. It doesn't matter which button is pressed the computer will always think it's the left mouse button!

3 Keyboard

Disable alt-tab, Windows key  , menu key   , or all keys on the keyboard.
This allows you to quickly disable the most common keys for instance the 'annoying' windows keys which pop up when you don't want them!

4 Mouse cursor settings

Change the mouse cursor to something more appealing, there are 25 different cursors in the pro version.

5 Mouse Click Area

If you click "Set Click Area" a transparent form pops up in which you can drag a rectangle box to specify the area in which you want to allow mouse clicks, this is extremely useful when playing flash games on the internet!
Reset Click Area will restore the click area to default.
