Reverse scroll direction on Windows 8

Switching around from Windows and Mac OS x can be a bit confusing, so I decided to reverse the scroll direction on my Windows machines, so they would feel the same as under Mac OS x.
Here is how I did it:
- Find the Hardware ID for your mouse
- Go to the mouse control panel
- Select “Hardware” tab
- Click “Properties” button
- Select “Details” tab
- From the drop-down list choose “Hardware IDs”
- Save the VID*** entry ( e.g. VID_045E&PID_0039 )
- Find and change the corresponding configuration settings in the registry
- Run regedit.exe (With administrator rights)
- Navigate to the Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HID
- Find the Hardware ID entry of your mouse
- Under all subkeys of the Hardware ID key look for the “DeviceParameters” key and change the “FlipFlopWheel” value from 0 to 1
- Making it work:
- Unplug your mouse
- Wait a few moments
- Plug in your mouse
