Set mouse wheel scrolling direction in Mac OS X and Windows

0

Mouse wheels behave just the opposite in Windows and Mac OS X. When playing with a web page, the action that scrolls up in MS Windows actually scrolls down in Mac OS X.

Is setting in either OS possible?

Open System Preferences » Mouse on your Mac and remove the first checkbox:

This affects mouse and trackpad alike, if have have both. It's something you were shown when you logged in after Lion installation for the first time.

See this How-To-Geek article to get reverse scrolling in Windows using AutoHotkey.

what about in MS Windows? – onemach – 2012-01-26T07:21:42.330

@onemach See that last paragraph with the link to the How-To Geek site. It's not supported by the OS, you need additional software, e.g. AutoHotkey, for it. – Daniel Beck – 2012-01-26T07:33:50.453
