Tired with the same old boring mouse pointer in Windows XP. Then why not change it to something more interesting all for free, without any downloads!


Changing the mouse pointer is fairly easy:

1. Click on Start on the Taskbar
2. Then click on Control Panel
3. After that click on Printers and Other Hardware
4. Then on Mouse under the “Or pick a Control Panel icon”
5. In the windows that pops-up go to the Pointer Tab
6. Now you can choose from the various schemes that are available.

To mix and match your own pointers:
1. Click on the pointer that you want to change
2. Then click on the Browse button
3. Choose your pointer
4. Click on OK

After you are done choosing the best pointer for you then just click on OK.
