Default Change Scroll Bar to Left Side of Screen?

As the subjects states, is there a registry edit that will move the scroll bar from the right hand side of the screen to the left? Being left handed, it is quite a pain to cover the screen with my hand when scrolling.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Bump - Anyone? Any ideas?
This is a possible deal breaker for me.

I think I just saw this feature in 8125. You could change the layout so that the scroll bar is on the left side and not right.

Check Display...

I've got two ideas - not exactly what you want, but hopefully better. One should work. One should be very very cool. But time frame is some way off - I'm working on one or two urgent things first. I apologise

But I'll be working on this once I clear my decks a little.

Thanks for your assistance. The 8125 does have a "Left Hand" mode, but only for Landscape. Since I use my 8125 90% of the time in portrait, it makes it very difficult for web browsing and scrolling email.

Thanks everyone for your help. I look forward to any ideas that you come up with (anything will be better)

General question: do you guys use your scrollbar with a stylus or thumb?

Thumb. Mostly because my stylus falls out if i put one in, so I just dont even bring one with me anymore.

I ask because at some point I'm considering a third party solution to the problem, and I need to think about how big to make it graphically.

Evidently both thumb and stylus need to be considered.

Yeah, I gotta imagine there are alot of other Lefty's out there like myself that are running into the same issue. A 3rd party application sounds like it would be very useful.
