Can't open mouse! ;-)

I have a dirty mouse and need to clean it as the wheel is sticking.
Problem is that I can't even open it! It's a PS2 mouse, which I believe it's
actually called a 'Microsoft Intellimouse', with 2 buttons and a wheel. I
tried to undo the 'catches' at the sides...'that part seemed successful, but
there seems to be 'something else' which is more centered and right inside
the mouse which is stopping it fron finally opening up. There are no screws
to be seen on it. If anyone can 'talk me through' this procedure of opening
the mouse, I'd be more than grateful.
Thanks.

Sometimes there is a label hiding a screw that must be removed in order
to open up a mouse.
