Script to be run at startup

[SwampDonkey]

By following different instructions here and there, and by installing imwheel, I've managed to get the wheel and side buttons of my MS IntelliMouse Explorer working as I want them. This requires the following command to be run each time I log in;

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

Not a particularly hard task I'm sure you'll agree but I would like to have this done for me. Can someone suggest the best place to put this. I think it needs to be run on a user-by-user basis.

Answers on a postcard please (or here if you prefer ;D)

Thanks ..... Pete

theres a few ways to do this.
to do it as the computer boots up, put the line in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
to do it as one user logs in (ie you) put it in ~/.bashrc (thats the file called .bashrc in your home folder)
theres a line that says something along the lines of
#User specific aliases and functions
<put it here>
the final way is to put it in the file that is parsed when all users log in. its somewhere in /etc, i can't recall its name

Hope this helps anyway

Create the file .Xmodmap in your /home directory and place the command in it.

pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5
