How do I change the flashing cursor in WinXP ?

[Montano]

My 2 year old changed it from a blinking line to a blinking black box!! How did he do that?? I want to change it back to a tiny black line 😀

Another member suggested that the 'insert' key would toggle the cursor back to a thin line, but that did not work 🙁

Any other ideas????

Control Panel -> Mouse
Pointers Tab
Hopefully something there will do the trick.

Tried that...but it's not the pointer....it's the cursor 😀

I'm at work right now and these machines are locked down pretty tight so I can't check it out, but look in Accessibility Options in Control Panel.

Goto Accessibility Options, display tab and set the cursor width to narrow.


Look Here

Another thing I would try doing is tapping your insert key in a text box...quite possible winXP changes the cursor to match whether or not you are in insert or overtype mode...(I'm running linux right now, so no guarantee on that...)

boomerang & Tates......you guys are awesome 🙂:beer::gift:
That fixed it right up !!!

And yelo333...you are probably correct also, as I know my baby did not go into 'Control Panel'. He must have hit the right key to make it bigger.

Thanks a bunch guys 🙂😀
