Hello,
I use a wireless USB mouse purchased from aliexpress, which works almost perfectly. The forward / backward buttons in the explorer do not work. They do not give any action at all, despite the fact that in Internet Explorer 6, which I installed, the "back" button acts as the middle button, and "forward" does not work at all.

Is it possible to use these buttons in the explorer, because I am very used to using them on older versions of Windows?

p.s. I am very grateful to all the members of this wonderful site. Many problems with my "new" old PC were solved thanks to you!

Welcome to the forum. This is indeed an amazing community. 😀

I seem to recall that I could get the 4th and 5th buttons to work under Windows 98SE, by installing a certain version of Microsoft Intellmouse driver. Don't remember the details, though.
