windows seven mouse scroll wheel BAD PROBLEM?

Clicking on the mouse scroll wheel will bring me out of the present screen, back to the desktop, with a panel in the middle. In the panel are mini versions of the tabs that were in my taskbar. Clicking one of the minis brings me to one of those tabs. Once I go through that, the scroll function of the wheel becomes disabled, and it instead zooms in and out. I want nothing to happen when I click the wheel. How do you fix this problem? It only started happening after getting Windows 7.

Update:

Cronin, thank you, that fixed it. However, it does not give me an option for "nothing". How do I get it to do absolutely nothing? Funny pun by the way.

    attempt working your mouse on yet another computing device, if it works, then verify the mouse port, and insert it nicely. if the situation persist then attempt to bathe the backside of the mouse. no count if it particularly is a optical mouse, there could nicely be a hardware situation. no count if it particularly is a ball mouse then take out the ball from the backside of the mouse and sparkling, fix it returned, and then verify
