Left-handed Mouse Configurations

How to do?

I have the demo of Sins of a Solar Empire and I can not find out where to change my mouse to the left-handed configuration. In Windows, it is on the left-handed configuration but it reverts to right-handed configuration in Sins of a Solar Empire. How do I change it to a left-handed configuration? Thank you.

To swap the buttons you'll have to change a settings file for the game. In XP it's
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting\uimappings.setting Some of those folders are hidden so you'll have to tell Windows to show them in Tools>Folder Options>View tab>Hidden Files and Folders.

When you do get to the file find the section that reads

CURSOR_BUTTON_0
NumMappings 1
Mapping
Device "MOUSE_BUTTONS"
DeviceInputID 0
isAltDown FALSE
isCtrlDown FALSE
isShiftDown FALSE
CURSOR_BUTTON_1
NumMappings 1
Mapping
Device "MOUSE_BUTTONS"
DeviceInputID 1
isAltDown FALSE
isCtrlDown FALSE
isShiftDown FALSE

and swap the DeviceInuptIDs so that CURSOR_BUTTON_0 is set to 1 and CURSOR_BUTTON_1 is set to 0.
