Making Your Mouse Pointer Larger

Introduction
The pointer changes shape depending on where it is on the screen. Most often it appears as a small white arrow with a black outline; over a white background this is simply a black outline.

In some cases it is even less easy to see. For example, over any area where you can type it turns into a 'I' cursor (called an 'I-beam').

This section shows you how to increase the size of your mouse pointer so that it will be easier to see under all conditions. Please select one of the following:
