Lefty: Is there a way to make the scrollbars reside on the left of the screen?

Hi All,

I just got a xv6800 running PocketPC v6. I'm happy that the hardware x-y disk is already on the left, but the scrollbars within the program windows are all on the right.

Does anyone know of a way to get the scroll bars to default to being on the left side?

Orienting the screen "for lefties" is a waste of time, and ridiculous, as it inverts the keyboard (do these folks perform NO real-world checks?). I want the orientation to remain, just to shift the scrollbar placement.

Thanks in advance,
JB

They are experimenting with a simple almost out-patient brain surgery to make lefty's into right-handers. It isn't approved yet, but if you can wait.....

Um, thanks for that, but if that is the only choice, I'll just wait for the inevitable Linux ports to be released.

I'm sure Windows 7 will have lots of one-handed features for righties. ;^)

You might just try "PointUI" and just use your finger.
I too am a lefty and it works for me.
