Cheers

One more reason to upgrade to XP :p

If you can't find the option in Control Panel | Mouse or under Accessories | Accessibility then the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse handles the Mouse. The option is MouseTrails of type REG_SZ and the values are 0 for none and 2 to 7 for 'short' to 'long' trails.

You can use Regedit (or Regedt32) to modify or add the string key MouseTrails. Take the usual precautions with regard to editing your registry.

Cheers, Babe.
