Guest b11_ Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Seeking the registry setting that corresponds to the mouse pointer speed.
Guest glee Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Re: registry setting Export the Registry to a text file saved on your hard drive. Open Control Panel> Mouse, set the pointer speed slider one notch faster, click OK all the way out and close Control Panel. Export the Registry to a text file again, with a different name. Do a file comparison to detect what has changed, using FC in DOS, or better yet, an app such as WinDiff (available on the Windows 98 CD, in the "\tools\reskit\file" folder). -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "b11_" <b11@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:EED14909-6A93-4719-B9F9-CAFCBFD72ACB@microsoft.com... > Seeking the registry setting that corresponds to the mouse pointer speed.

Guest glee Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Re: registry setting Hi Ron! MenuShowDelay sets the response speed of sub-menus to a mouse-over, not the speed of the pointer as it travels across the screen, which *appears* to be what the OP is asking about ("mouse pointer speed"). -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Ron Badour" <Sorry@NoAddress.com> wrote in message news:OEnmzLpwHHA.3560@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >I think this is it: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay > > -- > Regards > > Ron Badour > MS MVP 1997 - 2007 > > > "b11_" <b11@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:EED14909-6A93-4719-B9F9-CAFCBFD72ACB@microsoft.com... >> Seeking the registry setting that corresponds to the mouse pointer speed. > >

Franc's message was thus [Did I miss something or was there no answer?]: Newsgroups: comp.os.ms-windows.win95.misc Subject: Increasing mouse speed Date: 1999/03/29 A Win95 customer wishes to increase his mouse speed beyond that which is possible from Control Panel. I checked the registry settings and found three likely keys, each of which changes according to the Control Panel selections. The relevant registry entry seems to be: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control_Panel\Mouse The following is a table of values for each of the three registry keys for all possible Control Panel selections. Min Max Control Panel mouse speed selections ------------------- 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 Mouse speed --| 0 10 7 4 4 4 4 Threshold 1 |-- Registry settings 0 0 0 0 12 9 6 Threshold 2 --| Does anyone understand the meanings of "mouse speed", "threshold 1", and "threshold 2"? It appears that to increase the mouse speed, one could increase the value of the "mouse speed" key, and reduce the values of the two "threshold" keys. I experimented with several, including 3 1 1, but was unable to observe any change. BTW, I did reboot between changes. I tried TweakUI but found no relevant tweaks. Does anyone have a solution? -- Franc Zabkar -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com ________
Guest Jeff Richards Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Re: registry setting Mouse speed is usually expressed in mickeys per pixel. However, there should be a sensitivity setting (0 to 100) that is applied to the basic mickey rate to get the actual rate. The thresholds are the mouse movement speeds at which speed doubling kicks in. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Franc Zabkar" <fzabkar@iinternode.on.net> wrote in message news:q7n5939a4p2sau2t6h20ckk2jqg55do8p4@4ax.com... > On Mon, 9 Jul 2007 17:56:01 -0700, b11_ > <b11@discussions.microsoft.com> put finger to keyboard and composed: > >>Seeking the registry setting that corresponds to the mouse pointer speed. > > FWIW, this post lists the results of my experimentation with various > mouse parameters: > > http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.ms-windows.win95.misc/msg/31dcd3aced8a8d48?dmode=source&hl=en > > - Franc Zabkar > -- > Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.
