Just wondering how I can make the little cursor more visible when it mouses
over some text. It nearly dissapears and it takes me a while to find it in
the middle of a document. It happens in everything from IE7 pages to Word
and VISIO documents.
 
You can change the Text Select cursor.

Open Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization, in the left menu,
select Hardware and Sound and finally, click Mouse.

Open the Pointers Tab and in the Customize section, scroll down to the Text
Select cursor and select it. Click the Browse Button. Scroll down to the
Beam_il.cur item and select it. Look in the small Preview window at the
bottom/left of the dialog box to see what it looks like. Click Open and then
click Apply/OK.
 
Thanks Ronnie,

This is exactly what I was looking for. I actually chose a different text
select cursor. The one I picked was beam_rm.cur

The reason I chose that particular one is because it is more visible on web
sites or documents with text on a dark background.
