How Productive are you and your mouse?

Did you know that your mouse probably has a lot of adjustments you can make to improve your time spent at your computer?

1. Click your Start button
2. Click Control Panel
3. Then double-click the mouse icon

From there you may be able to:

• Adjust which button, left or right, you prefer as your primary clicker. Great option for left handed mouse users.
• Adjust the speed of your double click.
• Adjust the speed the cursor moves across screen or add a shadow to your cursor.
• For lazy users, check off the Clicklock box which will enable you to highlight or drag without pushing down the mouse button.
• Set your cursor to leave trails when you move it. Kids will love this!
• Change cursor icons to whatever you desire. Time to get out Paintshop and create those sexy feminine cursors?
• Love to surf but tired of scrolling through long web pages to find what you want? Set your scroll button to jump not one line, but three lines or even a whole page at a time.

Depending on your particular mouse and drivers, you may have more options than this, or less; but you'll never know until you check it out.
