Change Out Your Pointer Scheme

Tired of seeing your pointer as an arrow or an hourglass all the time? Windows XP offers a number of alternative pointer schemes other than default pointer, such as Dinosaur, Ocean, Sports and many more.

How to do this?

1. Open the Control Panel
2. double-click Mouse
3. select the Pointers tab
4. Next to Schemes, click the down arrow and select a scheme to preview its pointers
5. Click OK to apply the scheme to your desktop. Simple as that

(If you start in Category view, select Appearance and Themes, then click Mouse Pointers under "See Also.")

Good Luck!
