Windows Download: Make scrollwheel behaviour like Linux's with KatMouse

If you've ever used Linux, you'd know that to use the mouse scrollwheel, you have to move the mouse to the window you want to scroll on, and just scroll. On Windows, you actually have to click (get keyboard focus) on that window in order to scroll.

If this annoys you every time you have to come back to Windows, there's a solution: KatMouse. This little utility (less than 400kb) allows you to do just this. To scroll something, simply move the mouse to where you'd like to scroll. No need to click or alt-tab to that window.

However, there's something else you should know about this utility: I highly recommend you disable the wheel button feature it includes (by right-clicking on the tray icon and choosing setting, going to the 'Wheel Button' tab, and setting the combo box to something different from the default Wheel Button) since this disables the wheel's normal functionality (like opening links in tabs in web browsers, or auto-scrolling).

Anyway, hope this little app proves useful.
