SUMMARY
=======
To change the cursor within an application to a constant "ON" (non- blinking)
state:
1. Open the WIN.INI file using any text editor (for example Notepad or MS-DOS
Editor).
2. Locate the [Windows] section.
3. Change "CursorBlinkRate=" to a value of -1.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Setting "CursorBlinkRate=-1" causes the cursor to remain in the "ON" state.
When a cursor is displayed in a Windows-based application, it appears as a
blinking cursor. As default, "CursorBlinkRate=530" is set in the WIN.INI file's
[Windows] section. This blink rate is normally changed from the Desktop setting
in Control Panel. When the Desktop Blink Rate is set to Slow, the WIN.INI file
is changed to "CursorBlinkRate=1200". If the Blink Rate is set to Fast, the
WIN.INI file is changed to "CursorBlinkRate=200". This setting determines how
much time, in milliseconds, the cursor will be displayed and, accordingly, how
much time it will be off.
If you are using a Microsoft Mouse, you may want to call the Microsoft Sales
Information Center (MSIC) at (800) 426-9400 for information about obtaining the
Mouse Driver 8.20 kit, which comes with a utility that allows you to change the
size of the mouse pointer.
