Test Animated Pointers Quicker

SUMMARY: Save time when checking out new animated pointers in Windows 95.

If you frequently download or otherwise acquire animated pointers for your Windows 95 computer, it may take time to go through the mouse control panel every time you wish to look at a pointer or two for testing. An easier way to view .ANI files (animated pointers) in an animated state is to right-click the file and choose "Properties." Besides displaying other pieces of file information, the top-left area of the dialog box that follows will show the animated pointer moving.
