Description of the Exceptions For Universal Scrolling List (185536)

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the Exceptions For Universal Scrolling list to specify which programs you want to have the ability to scroll in using the wheel.

You may want to turn Universal Scrolling off in a program that uses the wheel for other purposes. For example, in some programs rolling the wheel allows you to zoom in and out in a document. If you want to be able to use the wheel to zoom and not scroll, turn off Universal Scrolling for that program.

By default, the Exceptions For Universal Scrolling list contains a list of programs that use the wheel to provide functionality other than scrolling or that have known compatibility problems with the Universal Scrolling feature.
