| Stop Hiding the Pointer when Typing SUMMARY: This Windows XP Control Panel tweak will keep the mouse pointer on your screen as you type.
Normally, whenever you type in Microsoft Word, Notepad, or most other software packages, Windows hides the mouse pointer. While this may clean up the screen by removing a possibly annoying arrow, some people would rather know where their mouse pointer is at all times. To disable this 'feature', do the following:
1. First, open Windows XP's Mouse Control Panel.
2. On the "Mouse Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box that follows, select the "Pointer Options" tab.
3. Uncheck "Hide pointer while typing"
4. Press "OK" to close the dialog box.
