This option is for people who may be having trouble finding their mouse cursor on the desktop (or those who just think it looks cool). Basically it is a setting that leaves a trail at the back of your mouse whenever it moves, comet style.

You can select whether you want a long or short trail, depending on your need. To setup a pointer trail on your mouse just do the following;

  • Open control panel
  • Go to mouse settings (hardware and sound > mouse)
  • Click on the pointer options tab
  • Check on the box display pointer trails
  • Select the length of your trail
  • Click apply and ok
