Default Move scrollbars to left side?

Hi, is it possible to move the scrollbars to the left side either through a reg hack or tweak app or something? I usually use my left hand for one-handed usage.

TIA!

I guess there's no way to do this?

Sure would be nice. I am left handed and I feel like grade school again having to wrap my arm over the top to the right side.

also TTT.

I hear you all, every time I try to scroll down a page, half of my hand covers the screen, and with the newer contact manager letters being on the right, I can't even see which one I'm picking!

An option needs to be made available, I mean come on, we have overcame right-handedness!

When I first set up my device it asked me if I wanted it to be right or left handed. I'm right, so I just picked it without thinking, but I would imagine that that option would do the trick.

With that said...I don't have any idea how I would get there again without a hard reset.

well, if I remember correctly that option actually turns the screen upside-down.

Plz Mr. Gates, I'm having post ergonomic stress from being left handed on your right handed product.
I take it it isn't something that can be changed in the registry?
