What Is a Mouse Pointer?

The mouse pointer is generated after the computer starts using the mouse to identify the mouse position on the graphical interface. With the development of computer software, it gradually contains more information. For the first time in the Windows operating system, it uses different pointers to indicate different states, such as: system busy, moving, dragging and dropping. In Windows, the mouse pointer file used is called "cursor file" or "dynamic cursor file".

A complete mouse pointer scheme should include 15 styles

* .cur file format is static

There are two formats of popular mouse pointer installation files on the Internet, which are .exe and .inf.

Pointer installation file for .exe, just double-click the file to install it. If you encounter a pointer installation file for .inf, you need to right-click on the file and select install from the right-click menu;

After the installation is successful, first enter the "Control Panel / Mouse / Pointer" and click "Plan", then select the newly installed mouse pointer from the scheme drop-down menu, and finally click "Apply / OK"!

Step 1: Click the "Open pointer folder" button and select a folder containing the mouse pointer!

Step 2: After selecting it, you will find that the single mouse pointer file is presented in the left window; then drag the corresponding mouse pointer dynamic file in the left window to the corresponding window behind the right mouse pointer action; remember, One to one correspondence!

Step 3: Map the 15 pointer files one by one. If not, it doesn't matter if they are empty! Then in "Folder Name", enter the folder in which the mouse pointer is to be installed [eg: Lollipop Mouse Pointer], and then give the pointer scheme a name in "Pointer Name". This name will be the mouse in the control panel The pointer scheme panel is displayed.

Step 4: The key part is to start generating the installation files. Just click the "Generate Installation Files" button.

Everyone who knows how to use a computer knows that the common computer is mainly composed of three parts: the host (main part), output device (monitor, etc.), and input device (keyboard, mouse, etc.).

One of the input devices is the keyboard, which is responsible for the "input" of the host system to the work requirements of the computer. The user's instructions must pass through it to tell the host computer the "brain". Through it, the computer knows what to do. And the keyboard is still an irreplaceable input device for the computer.

Another input device is the mouse. With the popularity of the Windows graphical operating interface, many commands and requirements no longer need to be input with the keyboard. You can tell the computer what to do by operating the left or right button of the mouse. Therefore, although the mouse is small, it is more flexible and convenient than the keyboard, which brings great convenience and a lot of fun to computer users.

But when it s more convenient or malfunctioning, that s when the mouse is broken. If you have a spare mouse or use a notebook (the touchpad is on the notebook), that s no problem. If it s difficult, you can use a desktop computer. What to do when no spare parts are available?

Everyone may say that when the mouse is broken, you can use the keyboard to use shortcut keys instead of the mouse, but there are a lot of shortcut keys to remember, especially if you do nt use shortcut keys, it is not easy for you to use them all at once. Things, what would you say? Hehe ~ Don't worry, follow me to make you have an emergency mouse use (from now on, assuming that the mouse is not available, you can only use the keyboard):

1. Press the shift + alt + Numlock three keys on the keyboard at the same time, a "mouse button" window will pop up at this time,

2. Press the TAB key on the keyboard (I will use this key for all those involved in switching, I will not mention it), let the dotted frame switch to the "Settings" button, and press Enter to open the "Accessibility Options" window,

3. Press the space bar on the keyboard to select the "Use Mouse Buttons" function, switch to the "Settings" button, and press Enter to log in to the "Settings for Mouse Buttons" window.

4. Also use the space bar to check "Use Shortcut" and "Hold Ctrl to speed up,

Hold down the Shift key to decelerate "option, while adjusting the pointer speed of the mouse (using the arrow keys to adjust). For convenience, it is recommended to set the Numlock key to the" off "state when using the mouse button, otherwise it will Go back to the default function state, and you ca nt use the mouse function at this time. After setting, switch to the OK button, and press Enter after a second confirmation. A mouse icon will appear in the lower right corner of the system task bar.

Alas, how is the mouse flag disabled? Oh, it turned out that the Numlock key on the keypad was not turned off. After we pressed the Numlock key, the disablement had disappeared.

This means that the mouse control function of the keypad has been turned on, and then you can use the number keys on the keypad to replace the mouse to control the mouse pointer on the desktop.

The 8 number keys in "1 ~ 9" except 5 (the "5" number key is equivalent to the left mouse button, and the "+" is equivalent to the right mouse button) respectively represent 8 different moving directions. Next introduce this Basic operation of the numeric keyboard as a mouse:
