Can't find mouse pointer. Command to return mouse to center screen

[Guest mcambrose]

Sometimes I am in a program and it is hard to find the mouse pointer on the

screen. Is there anyway to return the mouse pointer to center screen, so it

can be easily found? Thanks.

I can only offer this:

Click Start >> Control Panel >> Printers and Other Hardware >> Double click

Mouse Applet then onthe

mouse Properties click on Pointer Options Tab and make sure this option

checked:

 

[ ] Show location of pointer when I Press the CTRL key.

Click [Apply ] then [OK]

Here's a suggestion, though it doesn't center the pointer: Open Control

Panel, Mouse, Pointers tab, select "Windows Inverted (system scheme)".

That causes the pointer to change to a color that stands out more than

normal: orange on blue, white on black, black on yellow, etc.

Also, under "mouse" in control panel there is some option that will locate

the pointer with visible exploding concentric circles. I used that for a

while but it interfered with some other custom function that I

preferred.........
