You can programmatically swap the meaning of the left and right mouse buttons, to account for your left-handed users. All you need is a call to the SystemParameterInfo API function

Private Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias _    "SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction As Long, ByVal uParam As Long, _    ByRef lpvParam As Any, ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As LongPrivate Const SPI_SETMOUSEBUTTONSWAP = 33' swap the two mouse buttonsSystemParametersInfo SPI_SETMOUSEBUTTONSWAP, True, ByVal 0&, 0

To restore the regular mouse behavior, you need a second call to the same API function, but passing False in its second argument:

' restore regular mouse buttons behaviorSystemParametersInfo SPI_SETMOUSEBUTTONSWAP, False, ByVal 0&, 0
