Look for your missing mouse pointer

Have you ever encountered situations where your mouse pointer just disappears into thin air? Not able to find the pointer on the screen no matter how vigorously you are moving the mouse? Well, it seems that Windows has an option to allow you to pin-point the location of the mouse pointer.

Just do the following:

1. Goto Start > Control Panel > Mouse
2. Click on the Pointer Options tab
3. Ensure that the checkbox for Show location of pointer where I press the CTRL key is checked
4. Click on the Apply button

That's it. Now whenever you press the CTRL key, you will be able to find the exact location of your mouse. Hope this is useful.
