Have you ever been missing a mouse, or forgotten to plug-in the mouse before booting up a PC, and the mouse connection requires itself to be plugged in before boot. Well, I have, and it drive me nuts trying to use tab keys and other methods to maneuver myself around Windows to change various settings and get to the things I need.
Well, there is an alternative, and it’s been built into Windows all along, but never knew it was there. If you go into the Windows Control Panel>Accessibility Options>Mouse(Tab) and then click the check box ‘MouseKeys’ to enable it. You then have the options to adjust speed and sensitivity, which you will want to do. An excellent and handy tool for those needing an emergency mouse, when the one you have is on the fritz, or just plain not there.

I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since.
My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up.
Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about. My posts are displayed here at TheWindowsFix, MakeUseOf and ConnectedInternet.
