Different mice have different 'default' hotkeys for each button. Some generic mice don't have hot keys. Those that do generally come with software that updates you mouse settings in: Control Panel > Mouse. If you can't find any additional settings to change buttons you might check the manufactures website for driver downloads. -Grant Any ‘mouse’ shortcuts depend on your mouse.
