Pointer shadow

The computer I use at work uses Windows 2000. With it, I can enable a "shadow" for my mouse pointer. Is there a way to get a similar "shadow" for the pointer on my home PC that use Windows 98SE?

This will depend on your mouse brand and features...look in your mouse "Properties" and see if the feature and appropriate cursors are available.

Its not possible in Win98 only in Win2000/XP and possibly ME.

I have Win 98 SE, with a Logitech "WheelMouse1" version 8.02A.548.

This mouse allows for "Cursor Trails" (see Motion) which, I suppose, could be considered "a shadow"....

It is a very VERY annoying feature--not only by it's self but also if coupled with the mouse's SPEED!

I would not want to wish ANY OF IT on anyone!

"Trails" are hard on a person's eyesight and a "slowed-down, extra-long mouse trail" is like waiting for Speedy Gonzales to kick into overdrive.

But...since you insisted. If you really want to drive yourself insane, then use these parameters:

Motion -- "no acceleration", speed "fast", and Trails enabled "Long"
Pointer -- Scheme "Medium Black by Logitech" and "Normal Select"

The result produces a black-arrow shadow. Ugh.
