You just have to enable the &quot;snap to&quot; feature for your mouse. Go to <strong>Start<\/strong>, <strong>Control Panel<\/strong> and click on the<strong> Printers and Other Hardware<\/strong> (on some XP systems, there is a Mouse selection) link. Choose the <strong>Mouse<\/strong> link and then click on the <strong>Pointer Options<\/strong> tab. The second choice there is <strong>Snap To<\/strong>. Checkmark that box and click <strong>OK<\/strong>.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/imgsrv.worldstart.com\/ct-images\/snapto.jpg\" border=\"1\" width=\"335\" height=\"62\" \/><\/font><\/p>\n<p <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coastalrock.com\/\">cialis tabs<\/a>  align=&#8221;justify&#8221;><font>To change your pointer icon, select the &nbsp;Pointers tab and use the drop down menu to view the selections.&nbsp; The additional displays are shown in the box below.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font>So, from now on, your mouse pointer will automatically move to the default button in any dialogue box. Every time you&#39;re doing something on your computer, the mouse pointer will take care of the finishing touches for you and you won&#39;t have to worry about moving your hand back over to your mouse. This feature also helps to eliminate wrist injuries, such as carpal tunnel, because you don&#39;t have to use your mouse quite so much. And let&#39;s be honest, who can argue with that?! <\/font><\/p>\n<!-- Social Bookmarks BEGIN -->\n<div class=\"social_bookmark\">\n<a title=\"Click me to see the sites.\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"$$('div.d144').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_down',{duration:2.5}) }); return false;\"><strong><em>Bookmark to:<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\n<br \/>\n<div class=\"d144\" style=\"overflow:hidden\">\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a style=\"font-size:90%;text-align: right; \" title=\"Click me to hide the sites.\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"$$('div.d144').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_up',{duration:0.5}) }); return false;\">Hide Sites<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- Social Bookmarks END -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">$$('div.d144').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_up',{duration:0.5}) }); <\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: I feel like I use my mouse too often and I was just wondering if there was an easy way I could cut back.
