Mouse Keys & Quote
Mouse Keys
Let's say you're on a business trip with your laptop. You are busily using your laptop when suddenly an eagle swoops down and takes your mouse. OK, maybe that's ridiculous, but you get the point. Your mouse is gone! How can you move your pointer around? Windows 98 and Me can help. Go to the Control Panel (you have to do this before losing the Mouse) and select the Accessibility Options icon. Go to the Mouse Tab and check the "Use Mouse Keys" option. Click the settings button. Check the Use Shortcut box. Change the pointer speed to something that's reasonable (the slow is SLOW!!!). Click OK, followed by Apply. Now, press the Alt + Shift + Num Lock buttons and you can use your numeric keypad to move your pointer instead of a mouse controller.
Be yourself, who else is better qualified?
