I have had my Intellimouse apart and there does not seem to be a way to
remove the detents (or "clicks") associated with turning the mouse wheel
because that particular mechanism looks like it is sealed.  There is a
solution for the force needed to turn the wheel being too close to that
needed for a down-click.  I took the mouse apart and slightly elongated
the two small coil springs that support the wheel assembly.  This
eliminated the problem of clicking down when I wanted to be scrolling. 
Be careful when elongating the springs because it is essentially an
irreversible process.  I also have a Intellimouse Pro at home and the
wheel/click mechanism has a different design than that of the regular
intellimouse and its wheel rolls very easily without unintentionally
clicking down (the wheel is larger in diameter and is thinner).
