My baby loves computer games, but sometimes gets frustrated when she clicks the right mouse button and something unexpected happens. (She should click the left mouse button, but she gets mixed-up sometimes.)

This script maps all the mouse buttons to the left mouse button. When the game is over, double-click on the tray icon to exit and restore the normal mouse functionality.
Menu Tray, NoStandard
Menu Tray, Add, Exit, DoExit
Menu Tray, Default, Exit

MButton::LButton
RButton::LButton
XButton1::LButton
XButton2::LButton

DoExit:
	ExitApp
Mapping all four of the other mouse buttons to LButton is trivial. The rest of the script creates a tray icon menu containing only one choice: "Exit". Normally, this menu is accessed by right-clicking tray icon, but since right-click is disabled, the only item available is the Default item, which is selected by double-clicking.

good demonstration. My solution would be hardware - get an old puck mouse from a mac - only one button.

Always more fun to have software solutions.

My kids love Starfall and this is exactly what I was looking for. They always get so frustrated with the right button.
