Remote Volume Control with Wireless Mouse

Ever wanted to change your volume from afar? Sitting on the couch watching a film or listening to music on your computer only to decide the volume's too loud or too quiet? You're often too far away though to be able to easily see that tiny volume symbol in the icon bar. How frustrating!

This instructable shows you how you can remap your unused mouse buttons to be your slave. There are a few options, each one detailed in a different step.

Required:
- wireless mouse
- Windows XP/Vista
- AutoHotKey (powerful macro writer for Windows)

Step 1 Mouse buttons explained

The labelled picture below which shows which mouse buttons I'm referring to in the rest of this instructable. I will use:

- Mouse2 (Right mouse button)
- Mouse3 (Pressing down the scroll wheel)
- Mouse4 (Function button 1 - sometimes on the left side of the mouse)
- Mouse5 (Function button 2 - sometimes on the left side of the mouse)
- Scroll Wheel
- WheelLeft (some mice only)
- WheelRight (some mice only)
