How can I disable back button on Logitech G5?

When browsing the internet or playing browser games i always accidentally hit the button near my thumb on my G5 mouse. This button causes the browser to go back a page every time its pressed and can be very annoying. Uberoptions and SetPoint is too much to depend on for something so little, I'm sure there is something easier I can do?

"The button you are referring to is Mouse4 (referred to as XButton1 by AHK) which enables backward navigation on mice. I had the same problem, I just added another line to my massive AutoHotkey script:

XButton1::return

will do the trick. XButton is actually derived from Windows mouse input dating back to Windows 2000 when Microsoft supported the five-button Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer. More on it here."

"Control Panel > Mouse

There should be a buttons tab where you can set the actions that each button does. I've never used Logitech mice but my Microsoft Sidewinder mouse has options to disable and rebind any mouse key."
