How to Reverse Mouse Buttons

Left handed people and those who are ambidextrous often prefer to have their mouse on their left side, which in turn may lead for the need to switch button properties. Switching the button properties, right for left and left for right, makes it easier and faster to get around a software program. It is also a quick and hilarious practical joke that can make a Monday morning very entertaining for everyone but the recipient.
