Windows had these 2 button mice some years ago and I don't know any "normal" Windows program that pastes using middle mouse, therefore I expect no support in Windows for a middle mouse emulation.
That's why I was mentioning Firefox (or Thunderbird or SeaMonkey) which are not "normal Windows programs" but cross-platform. They don't need Cygwin, on Windows they use normal Windows calls, but I thought that they might recognise the middle-click in an input box or a mail-composition window to mean "paste from clipboard" the way they do on Linux or Mac.
UNIX-accessing Software like Cygwin X or Hummingbird have their own middle mouse emulaton and their own setting of the speed parameter. They wouldn't have if Windows would do this for them. I guess the emulation is done by gvim. In gvim see :help mousemodel. It says in line "middle click" for all models "paste". Paul
Gvim does a paste when it sees a middle click. But who translates the both-click and _presents_ it as a middle-click? IMHO it might quite well be Windows, even if much fewer Windows-only programs _recognize_ the middle-click than do Unix-only programs.
