Scrolling contextual menus and sub-menus System
You may already know that if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can use it to scroll through contextual menus. But did you know that if you have a multibutton mouse, and you map two buttons to "next page" ("forward") and "previous page" ("back"), you can use these to activate the submenus? Once activated, use the scroll wheel to navigate.

I've only tried this with my M$ mouse, but you can download the Logitech Control Center for OS X at logitech, it claims to be able to map keystrokes.

Ok, the back and forward buttons work for me.. But I can't scroll in the menus. Do I have to do something to get that to work?
I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.

I havn't done anything - it just works, but not for the dock menus only for context menus.

Ah, that's why it didn't work :)
Thanks for clearing that up.
