Disable side mighty mouse button in Windows XP

I have a mighty mouse that I use in bootcamp and the side mouse buttons when hit go to the default command "back in browser." I often hit the buttons accidentally only to find myself "hitting the back button" in firefox accidentally. Is there a way to disable the side mouse buttons when using windows xp bootcamp?

Did you find a solution to this?

The mighty mouse is driving me mad - seem to go back all the time when browsing IE in XP.

Hi,

I hate this behaviour too. But I found this sw ( http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm ), that let you disable fourth button and it works fine. I'd like to see scrolling horizontally in Windows. I know there is a comercial driver, but I'd like some free solution.

Hope this helps.
