Scroll wheel and web browsing

[PaulusUK]

Is there anyway to set the scroll wheel so that it will smoothly scroll the screen in pocket IE, rather than tab between the hyperlinks?

It seems to do this on some web pages but not others, so I assume it is how the page is coded. But can the wheel be set to do this for all pages?

Ideally, I would like for the wheel to scroll the screen, but the joypad to tab between the links.

Is there a registry setting or something?

Hi!

I think the scrollwheel is hard-coded to act as "arrow up" / "arrow down" .. So scrolling the wheel up or down will only take you to the previous, or next link in the webpage. If the webpage contains few links then it will scroll one page down instead I think. Maybe a plugin or something could fix this, but IE doesn't have that function as of today.

Yo !! you can do it, you have to change the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\"4-Way Nav"=1

to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\"4-Way Nav"=0

but it affect both scroll wheel and buttons pad, you can't do it separately.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you change the registry? I would find this useful also.

The cab file works a treat. Thank's for it! However I have noticed that after installing it when I open an email or text message it opens scrolled down a bit. Any ideas? It means I have to scroll up a bit each time to read it.

This doesn't really achieve what I want as it only removes the tabs to hyperlinks. This means you must use the stylus when browsing, so it actually reduces the functionality. If the page didn't have any hyperlinks, the scroll wheel would have done the same thing anyway, move one page at a time.

What I would like to do, as PaulusUK said at the start of this post, is to be able to smooth scroll on a page the same way a desktop mouse works.
An option to set the number of lines that scroll would be nice.

There might be something out there that does this already, any suggestions?
