How to make cursor arrows bigger in Windows 7? From: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/ Is there a way to make the cursor bigger in Windows 7 system? Of course there's a solution. Microsoft's got your back, nothing to worry about. Right-click on the Desktop. Anywhere'll do. You'll see a menu like this: image Click on "Personalize", the last choice of the set shown. Now you'll go to a big window with many different options, one well worth exploring: image Look on the top left of the window. You'll see these options: image Click on "Change mouse pointers" and you'll move to a rather more complicated and information-dense window: image

As you can see, you can change individual cursors if you particularly dislike one, but instead, click on the pull-down menu under "Scheme". You can see, mine currently says "Windows Aero (system scheme)". Clicking on it reveals a lot of options: image It's a bit hard to read (ironically) but in addition to the standard Aero scheme, there's also "Windows Aero (large)" and "Windows Aero (extra large)". Choose the extra large scheme, click "Apply" on the lower right of the window, and look how much bigger the cursor just got: image Easy enough, and it'll remember across restarts so you should be good to go. Decide it's too big? Try just "large" as a compromise. Tip: there are also third-party fun cursor apps you can download. Avoid them all. Every single one of them. Why? Because it's a very common transmission vector for viruses and spyware.

bro me also post smiley 1. Right-click on the desktop and select "Personalize" from the pop-up menu. 2. Click on "Change mouse pointers" in the left-hand column. 3. Click on the one you want to change ("Normal Select" for the default one) to highlight it. 4. Click on the "Browse" button. 5. Click on the new pointer (try "aero_arrow_xl" for the normal pointer). 6. Click the "Open" button. 7. Repeat for any other pointers you wish to change. 8. Finally, click "OK" and then close all the dialogs.
