Or at least change the side buttons to do a different task.

You can do that by modifying registry key, but I think above solution works very well

Answer 2

In the Control Panel somewhere you should be able to set the settings. It might be (maybe) Control Panel > Mouse > Device Settings (or the last tab) > Settings. Then somewhere in there you should be able to control it.

Otherwise, read the manual that came with your mouse.
