Snap

Do you feel like you
often use your mouse too much? Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying
to push keyboard shortcuts on you, because I know those can be hard to
learn and remember. I'm talking about all the times you use your mouse
for the most common tasks on your computer. For example, any time you
change a setting on your PC, you have to press OK for
it to take effect, right? Isn't it a little repetitive to have to press
that button every single time? How would you like your mouse to automatically
do it for you?
Well, it's possible
and here's how. You just have to enable the "snap to" feature
for your mouse. Go to Start, Control Panel
and click on the Printers and Other Hardware link. Choose
the Mouse link and then click on the Pointer
Options tab. The second choice there is Snap To.
Checkmark that box and click OK.
So, from now on, your
mouse pointer will automatically move to the default button in any dialogue
box. Every time you're doing something on your computer, the mouse pointer
will take care of the finishing touches for you and you won't have to
worry about moving your hand back over to your mouse. This feature helps
to eliminate wrist injuries, such as carpal tunnel, because you don't
have to use your mouse quite so much. Who can argue with that?!
Now, go and snap to
it!
