I prevoiusly had such a problem but not on iMac and on a x86 and with the following trick it solved.
The registry values that are related to this are in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Here there are two String Values: WheelScrollLines
for vertical scrolling and WheelScrollChars
for horizontal scrolling.
You can set the value of them to 0
to disable theme.
A log off may be needed.
But notice that as I experienced if you go to the Control Panel > Mouse section > Wheel tab they will be enabled again, even without confirming the window.
I hope help you.
Autohotkey is a light solution, with the script:
*MButton::SendInput {Click 2}
You can even compile it to an executable, which weighs about 200KB in disk space and 2.2MB1 in memory. It's also quite easy to add to startup, and is portable.
I personally prefer to use X-Mouse Button Control due to ease of configuration. Simply assign the Middle Button
to Double Click Drag
. The advantage is it keeps the second click held as long as the middle button is held, which ensures greater compatibility - it should perform exactly the same way as double clicking normally.
Click for full size
It's possible to simulate such an action in AHK, but more difficult - if you wish for such an AHK solution, you can let me know in a comment. The above AHK script will not respond correctly to holding the button down - it will simply double click and release.
X-Mouse Button Control weighs about 3MB in disk space and 3MB1 in memory. It is also optionally portable.
Both AHK and XMBC can accomplish this, and both can be set to have application specific profiles. XMBC is more intuitive, if you wish to modify other mouse buttons without having to learn a scripting language, while AHK is undoubtedly more powerful. Both AHK and XMBC can simulate chains of keypresses, but AHK allows for more complex operations and decision making.
As an aside, AHK will trip PunkBuster (a certain anti-cheating system used by quite a few games), while XMBC will not - at least, at the moment.
1The memory usage is on my computer, Windows 7 x64. It may vary slightly from computer to computer, but the variation shouldn't be much.

You can download the latest installers (from Boot Camp 3.1):
They are working with both Wireless products including the new Magic Mouse. I'm not sure if these are including only x64 versions.
