then in the email message area hold down the Ctrl key and
press the V key to view or paste in the address.
Q. Where can I get the cursor that looks like
a cute little mouse?
A. The mouse cursor is one of the pointer choices that comes
on the driver installation CD with a Microsoft mouse or trackball.
If you have lost your CD you can download the IntelliPoint
4.1 software from http://www.Microsoft.com.
The name of the file is IP4_12EngALLMsi.exe.
To get the file, go to the Microsoft address above. Under
the heading Resources, click on Downloads. Below Search for
a Download in the Keywords space, type: IntelliPoint, and
click on Go. Windows finds IntelliPoint 5.0 mouse software
for Windows XP and 2000 and IntelliPoint 4.12 mouse software
for Windows 98, NT 4.0, and Me. Put your pointer on IntelliPoint
4.12 and it becomes a hand with a pointing finger. A double-click
takes you to a details page where you can click on the underlined
word Download to go to the next step. Just keep following
the prompts until you have it on your computer, and then double-click
on the filename to install the program. After installation,
there will be a Microsoft Mouse icon on the desktop. Double-click
the icon to open the Mouse Properties window, click on the
down arrow under Scheme and click on Mouse. You should see
the cute little mouse--click on OK and he's yours.
