blue button woes

[georgeb]

my thinkpad is irritating me in a very basic way and i can't seem to fix it. here's the problem: i tend to hold down the blue (i.e. scroll) button sometimes while surfing the web, working on a spreadsheet, etc. and invitably i get the annoying little message asking me if i want to learn about the properties of the blue button. i've said no and i've checked the box for "do not display this message again" i don't know how many million times but it still pops up. please tell me there is a way to remove / uninstall this really annoying 'help' feature? tia
