It's definitely NOT there on any of the machines I'm having the
problem with, all now running IntelliPoint 5.0 on Windows 2000.

The option appears on different machines running IntelliPoint 5.0 on
XP, IntelliPoint 4.9 (which will only install on Windows XP) and
IntelliPoint 4.12 under Windows 2000 but that version causes erratic
mouse movement.

On the machines which have the ClickLock option I've tried turning it
on and get similar symptoms on so I'm pretty sure that's the "fault"
and it could be resolved if the option were available in Windows 2000.
