The Mouse window allows users to alter the movements and visibility of a cursor
I was having difficulty finding the mouse pointer on my computer because the screen is so large. The solution was to enable an option in Windows to help me find it using a keyboard shortcut.
Click on the Start button and then on Control Panel. Click on the Hardware and Sound title and then Mouse in the Devices and Printers section at the top of the next screen. Click on the Pointer Options tab.
At the bottom of the window is an option ‘Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key’. Select this option and click on Apply.
Press the Ctrl button to see the effect of this change. A series of circles appear around the cursor. If you like this option click on OK to close the window.
