To configure mouse speed when double-clicking: 1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel and then double-click the Mouse icon. 2. Click the Buttons tab. 3. To adjust the amount of time needed between double-clicks, slide the bar in the bottom half of the Buttons tab of the Mouse Properties dialog box either left or right. (Hold the left mouse button down while moving the mouse, then release after you've moved the slider.) 4. You can test your setting by double-clicking the jack-in-the-box--if he pops up, you've clicked fast enough (see Figure 13.3). Configuring Right- or Left-Hand Mouse Preferences To change your mouse for right or left-handers: 1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel and then double-click the Mouse icon. 2. To switch between right- and left-handed mouse configurations, click either the Right- handed or Left-handed option buttons in the top of the Buttons tab of the Mouse Properties dialog box (see Figure 13.3). Adjusting Pointer Speed You can control how fast the pointer moves on the screen in relation to your mouse movements on your desk. You can have the pointer move completely from one side of the screen to the other with only the slightest mouse movement, or you can slow the pointer down for greater control. The pointer speed is set in the same Mouse Properties dialog box as mentioned earlier: 1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then double-click the Mouse icon. 2. Once the dialog box is open, click the Motion tab Cleaning a Mouse If your pointer starts moving erratically, or your mouse isn't moving smoothly, it's probably time to clean your mouse. This is a simple process: 1. Carefully remove the mouse ball. On the bottom of your mouse there will be a cover plate that usually just twists off. If you have trouble getting the cover off, refer to your mouse manual. 2. Once the ball is out, roll it between your fingers to remove any dirt. 3. Inspect the inside of the mouse and carefully remove any dirt you find in there, especially any dirt that has collected on the little rollers that come in contact with the mouse ball.
