Hi Phil, firstly I have to say many thanks for creating your superb application, I absolutely love it and I use it to map a mouse button to the CTRL key so I can zoom web pages easily with just the mouse and scroll wheel.

 

I use the portable version of the app, I am a fan of portable apps as I don't like programs adding files here there and everywhere and to the registry I feel portable apps are better all round.  The folder I use for my portable apps is "C:\Program Files (SFX)" this has the words "Program Files" in the name, but X-Mouse thinks I am using the "Program Files" folder and I get the warning when I start it up.  I wonder please if you might be able to change how X-Mouse detects the use of the Program files folder and change it to it has to be the exact name "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" to trigger the warning message?

 

Do you think that may be possible in a future update? I hope that makes sense sometimes I am not very good at explaining myself!

 

Anyway, all the best,
