Tame that mouse!

The default settings for the mouse, are not necessarily the best settings for all users. You can control how fast the mouse moves and more importantly learn how to control the double-click speed so that it works for you every time.

1. Click on Start
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Control Panel
4. Double-Click on Mouse

Depending on your mouse, you will see different screens and options in here, but you want to look for two things: pointer speed and double-click speed.

Adjust double-click behavior by sliding the double-click speed option all the way to the left (or double-click very slowly on the icon provided with some software).

Adjust the pointer speed to either slow down or speed up the mouse movement.

Lastly, if you have a three button or ?scroll? mouse, you can assign the double-click procedure to either your scroll button or a middle button.
