On my laptop, the touchpad drivers for it allowed me to emulate middle click by clicking both the left and right mouse buttons at the same time. I'd like to have the same feature on with my netbook's touchpad. How might I go about doing this?

Try this: Middle Click Simulator (direct download link)

Alternatively, have you tried installing he Synaptics Touchpad drivers?

It's an ALPS touchpad. I found out that after installing the manufacturer's driver I had to reboot in order to get the extra functions like enabling emulated middle click. Thanks, though. – matthews Jul 26 '09 at 20:54
Did the middle click simulator exe not work for you? – Charles Roper Jul 27 '09 at 7:55
I added a direct link to the download. – Charles Roper Jul 27 '09 at 7:57
Well I found out that the manufaturer's touchpad driver had an option to emulate middle click, but the built in windows touchpad driver did not. – matthews Jul 27 '09 at 14:05
The utility works sometimes, but not always (e.g. to close a Chrome tab, you must first click right, then left, and in Visual Studio it doesn't work at all). – dbkk101 May 14 '10 at 18:38

Perhaps try the latest ALPS touchpad drivers then?

Though I reckon you're looking for a hacked version of the drivers that support it for sure
