Mouse4/Mouse5 for tools in photoshop cs5

Im using a logitech mx510 and would like to use the buttons on the side (mouse4/mouse5) as shortcuts for my move/brush tools. However, photohop says it only allows me to use A-Z on the keyboard for tool shortcuts. Is there anyways around this?



What I REALLY want is to be able to select a layer just by clicking it in the comp. Right now I have to ctrl+opt+cmd-click in order for it to do that, and that only works when I have the move tool selected! It'd be nice if I could highlight the layer just by clicking it with mouse4 and then be on my way. I couldn't find any shortcut in the keyboard preferences menu that functions like that but would love to know if this is possible, thank you!



Another thing I've been curious about is whether or not its possible to make it so photoshops 'Save As' command can default to a certain type/folder? I work at a news station and I make about 30 graphics a day - all .pngs, all going in the same folder. It gets pretty old having to navigate to the right folder and change it to a png every time, and when I make it into an action it overwrites the previous file each time. Any ideas?
