I haven't programmed for Windows CE, but I have programmed for Windows. As far as I know, the basic window has scroll bars on the right and bottom and there's no way to change that.

A programmer could write a program differently and put scroll bars wherever they want, but I think every programmer would have to do that on their own.

A third-party program might be able to find all vertical scroll bars and change their window positions, but I don't know if the window containing the scroll bar would properly move the contents to the right.

What about a 3rd party app that sat on top of all programs, and put its own scroll bar on the left side, in addition to the default? Not ideal, but maybe possible?

Not true. In most applications, the directional pad can be used to scroll, so your hand won't block the screen at all.

WOOT, southpaws unite! :grouphug:

I find that when it comes to computer interfaces, I tend to adapt to the right-hand biased world.

I'm left handed but never been able to use my mouse with the left. and about using the dpad, it just never seams to work very smothly. man I miss my jog dial on my old jornada.

I'm with you there wesley, I can only use the mouse in my left hand while web browsing (scroll wheel and the occasional link pressing) but it is still in right hand mode, I can't adjust easily to having the right and left mouse buttons switched.
