To change pointer shape or appearance

1. Click here to display Mouse Properties.

2. Click the Pointers tab.

3. To change all the pointers at one time, select a different scheme in the Scheme list.

To change only one pointer, click it, click Browse, then double-click the file name of the pointer you want to use.

Note: A scheme is a set of mouse pointers that you can use. Each pointer shape provides a visual cue that indicates what Windows is doing or what you can do in a given context.

Tips

By default, only a limited set of mouse pointer schemes is installed during Windows setup.

You can customize as many pointers as you want, then save them as a new scheme by clicking Save As.

To remove a pointer scheme, click it in the Scheme list, then click Delete.
