How to make mouse buttons follow host

Its seems that vmware guest hardware for the mouse now uses hardware clicks. So in the host control panel swapping mouse buttons has no effect on the guest.

This is a real pain - in a previous version of vmware it used to work correctly.

Running windows .. sometimes I use a mouse with normal buttons, other times the buttons are swapped (left handed).

A few versions back of Workstation it used to be that the guest would copy the mouse button settings for the host.

Swap left/right buttons etc. Now it seems that for each guest I have to change the settings individually.

Is there a way to make the guest follow the host settings?

Can I make vmware guest hardware use the host control panel status for the mouse?

Thanks,

Michael
