To expand on what CajunLuke said about changing the configuration on a per app basis. but something that gets VMware Fusion sending the right message would be better. How can I get the back/forward buttons working properly within my Windows virtual machine instances under VMware Fusion? I'd even be happy with some key/button re-mapping kludge running under the Windows VM that simulates what they're supposed to do in the first place. Under Windows 7, they have the effect of moving and resizing a window to occupy the left half of the screen, or the right half of the screen (depending on the button pressed.) So, I think there is a signal getting sent to the VM, just the wrong one. Problem: When running Windows (whether XP or 7) as VMs under VMware Fusion, the MX310's back and forward buttons no longer work in Windows as they are supposed to. When I use the MX310 on the Mac, I install the Logitech Control Center preferences pane, which makes sure the buttons also work as expected within Finder, Safari, Firefox, etc.to navigate backwards and forwards within folders, web pages, etc. If I use the MX310 under native Windows (I have a PC, too) the buttons naturally act as the back and forward actions in Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.

What I especially like are the back and forward buttons.

It has 6 buttons and I think it's the greatest mouse ever invented and I own a few (one is at the office). I have a Mac running OS X Lion, and then VMware Fusion 4.x running Windows XP and Windows 7 as virtual machines.
