Windows has no concept of browser back/forward.  What you describe is most
likely being controlled by the actual device driver for that particular
mouse, since it is the only one that knows anything about the mouse and has
to translate the hardware operations into something that Windows can
understand natively.

Looking at the following article suggests the same thing:

    274796 - IntelliMouse: Forward and Back Web Navigation Buttons Do Not
Work
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;274796

It describes how to configure an MS Intellipoint mouse to issue custom
keystrokes (such as Alt+Left/Right) for the back/forward buttons instead of
whatever it would normally issue instead.
