Changing Mouse Settings

Windows allows you to change the settings on your mouse to make it more user-friendly. For example, you can change the size of your mouse pointer.

To change the size of your mouse pointer:

• Click Start. • Choose Settings Control Panel. • Double-click the Mouse icon.

• The Mouse Properties dialog box appears.

• Click the Pointers tab. • Click the down-pointing arrow in the Scheme box. • Choose the option you want. • Click OK

Changing Double-Click Speed

If your mouse speed is too fast or too slow, you can change or adjust it.

To change the double-click speed of your mouse:

• Click Start. • Choose Settings Control Panel. • Double-click the Mouse icon.

• The Mouse Properties dialog box appears. • Click the buttons tab. • Click the little box in the Text area to check your double-click speed.

• If your double-click speed is too slow, it might be difficult to get the computer to perform tasks. A bouncing clown pops out of the box if Windows recognizes your double-click. If you double click again, the clown goes back into the box.

• Click and drag the knob on the slider bar to increase or decrease the double-click speed of the mouse. • Click OK when you have the speed you want. • Close the Mouse Properties window.
