There was a thread in gnu.emacs.help recently (in the last week or so)
where this problem was solved.  The problem is caused by your mouse
driver, not by anything Emacs does. Usually when the driver is set
for the behaviour you describe, clicking the wheel twice will send
the mouse-2 event through to Emacs.

This message just reiterates what I said above: that it is the mouse
driver that determines wheel-click behaviour on Windows.
