Last time I checked the MS mouse drivers didn't give you that option!
It seems they haven't heard that OS X supports more than 2 mouse
buttons. I suppose we're lucky they know it supports more than one!
Options:
* Pay $20 for USB Overdrive (the MS driver is actually just an old
version of this).
* Don't use anything. Apple's USB driver will handle the MS mouse
just fine. However, then you're stuck with that horrific
carpal-tunnel-inducing Apple mouse acceleration curve...
