In Windows Vista, I have tried to set the setting 'the following number of lines at a time' to zero. I assumed my scroll wheel would not scroll anymore. But it still works.
I'm trying to disable the wheel because my RSI complaints worsen when using the scroll wheel often.
Does anyone have an idea on how to achieve this?

Have you checked the related registry setting? In Registry Editor, go to
and set
WheelScrollLines = 0, then reboot your PC and check if it works.If this doesn't work after reboot, or WheelScrollLines is reset to its previous value, then the problem may be the touchpad driver (I assume you are on a laptop) which may override the wheel settings for all mouse devices. To fix this, you should update the synaptics drivers.
