Automatically Move the Mouse to a Dialog Box
SUMMARY: Configure Windows Vista to automatically move the mouse pointer whenever a dialog box appears.
The more you use windows vista, the more you see dialog boxes in the operating system and virtually every application. Unfortunately, when dialog boxes appear, they often appear in the center of the screen or some other location away fromyour mouse pointer, forcing you to first move the mouse pointer to the dialog box and then click a button to perform an action or respond to a message.
If desired, you can enable a feature called "Snap To" that automatically moves the mouse pointer to the default button whenever dialog boxes appear. While this feature may prove to be a convenience, if you enable it, be careful when you click your mouse as you may accidentally click "OK" or "Yes" to a dialog box without actually reading its information.
1. open the windows vista "mouse properties" dialog box.
2. Click the "Pointer Options" tab.
3. Underneath "Snap To", check the box.
