Seeking the registry setting that corresponds to the mouse pointer speed.

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).

Re: registry setting

 

I think this is it: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay

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").

Maybe MouseSensitivity at:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse

FWIW, this post lists the results of my experimentation with various

mouse parameters:

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?

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.

Re: registry setting

 

I read the question but obviously not well enough <G>.

 

To OP, sorry about that. Here are the changes that were made when I

increased the speed of the mouse pointer:
