Q: I've seen pointers that turn into cute little dinosaurs, musical instruments- all sorts of things. How do you do that?

A: It's really not hard at all. Plus it's a fun way to make waiting for things to load more bearable .

In Win XP, you'll first go to the Start menu, then the Control Panel .

Click on Appearance and Themes under "Pick a Category".

Next, click on Mouse Pointers . (This option is under "See Also").

Now you'll be in the Mouse Properties window. Click on the tab called Pointers . At the top you'll see options under Scheme ; click on the drop-down arrow to look at the different ones available. Once you click on a Scheme, you can see a preview of what the pointer will look like by clicking under Customize .

Once you decide on a Scheme, click OK and Voila! You've customized your mouse pointer!
