Windows XP and the Mouse

Enable or Disable the Pointer Shadow

SUMMARY: Toggle a shadow below Windows XP's mouse pointer.

Depending on how your Windows XP system is configured, when you move your mouse pointer you may notice a small shadow around it. While some find this aesthetically pleasing, others would rather just see a plain mouse pointer.

To configure the mouse pointer shadow option:

1. First, open Windows XP's Mouse Control Panel.

2. On the "Mouse Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box that follows, select the "Pointers" tab.

3. Near the bottom of the dialog box, check or uncheck "Enable pointer shadow" as desired.

4. When done, press "OK" to close the dialog box.
