How do you set Reverse Scrolling on Windows 8?

Website

Hi. My girlfriend has a Compaq laptop with Windows 8.1. It currently is set so it uses natural scrolling as tablets have. I want to set it so it uses the traditional computer scrolling direction.

I've looked online and websites say you have to go to PC and Devices, Mouse and Touchpad, then flick the Reverse Scrolling Direction switch. However when I go to the Mouse and Touchpad section there is no Reverse Scrolling or other Touchpad switches. Any ideas please because this natural scroll shite is driving us mad?!

I have to go into the registry to fix this?! I will try it later. Thanks!

It isn't so much a fix it as a get round it. I dont have the option on my machine either. There will some requirement it needs to get that to happen and if it isn't met the GUI option isn't shown but as it is a part of the OS you can work around that.
