Mouse scroll wheel direction settings

I feel that the standard scroll wheel direction is counter intuitive: On a tablet or smart phone we pull the document or list into the same direction we want it to be moved. But the mouse wheel needs to go the opposite way. Obviously I am not alone with that as Gnome let's the user change this. It is probably the case that a whole generation, that grew up with a mouse before smart phones became available, simply got used to it. I do not want to change the standard setting, but there should be an option to change the mouse scroll wheel direction with a click in the settings. The only way to change it, that I came across was going to the registry. However, on my company machine, I do not have admin rights and thus cannot change this setting, which for me is a productivity issue.
