Resolved Logitech Mx700 and Windows 7, disable side buttons?

I am asking here instead of at logitech in case anyone knows of any windows settings or a registry hack i can use to accomplish what i need.

All i want to do is disable the side "back" and "forward" buttons. i hit them by accident way too often, and never use them anyway (ill use the browser buttons).

Installing setpoint does nothing, i cant see the mouse. all i can do with it is literally change any settings dealing with the actual program, not the mouse. so, this is useless.

Is there some method or hack i can use to just disable these side buttons???

Thanks.

 

the best i can find is that logitech no longer technically supports the product. But it still works.... and i still love it. I can only access basic windows options though, you know pointer options, speed, etc. just hte very basics.

So i didnt know if there was a windows workaround with some sort of a compatibility mode, or something?

 

Thank you for this! It actually worked! I have saved the page for myself in case something should happen again in the future. I am not sure why this didnt come up for me, maybe i wasnt using the right search terms.
