For all you 'putor geeks...is there a way to add a scroll bar to the left side of the screen? Not move it but add one?

Hi Mike,

Do you mean in your browser? That would be a function of the particular 'brand' of browser, as to whether it allowed that capability (i.e.,not a function of the OS). Look in your browser's preferences. I know of no browser that supports this functionality.

Sounds like you are tired of moving the cursor to the right to scroll and back to the left to click ? If so two things you can do

Buy a mouse with a wheel on it so you can scroll without moving the cursor.

If you use a laptop with a touch pad. You can set part of the touch pad to be scrollable so you don't have to move the cursor to the scroll bar. I have that setup on mine. If I touch the right side of it and move up/down it scrolls up/down. Great little feature for browsing.

If this wasn't the reason, I'm curious to hear it.

Wow...mine already does this, I never knew!!! Thanks.

And your assumption was correct. With the touch pad, going back and forth, but this cool.

Thanks Raphael
