Left Sided Windows Scrollbars?

Skin and Blister asks: "Years ago mouse manufacturers realized that not everyone is right handed and (thankfully) created the option of reversing the mouse buttons to accommodate left handed users. Now that laptops (and obviously tablets) have integrated touch technology, the new challenge for south paws is to use a stylus in the left hand to manipulate a scroll bar on the right side of an open window. Does anyone know if there is a way to move scroll bars to the left side of a window in Microsoft Windows XP Pro?"

    But the original submitter was hinting at using a tablet PC and a stylus, which would cause trouble if your left arm is blocking the screen while reaching across it to move the scrollbar.

    - Move "Sig". For great justice!
