How to set mouse in my computer

In previous chapter we have learnt about mouse and its function.Use the mouse to interact with items on our screen as we would use our hands to interact with objects in the physical world. We can move objects, open them ,change them,or throw them away,among other things.We can make some changes to its functionality and to the look and behavior or our mouse pointer.For example,we can switch the role of the buttons on our mouse,or adjust the speed of double clicking etc. For the mouse pointer,we can change its appearance,improve it's visibility, or set it  to be hidden when we are typing.
 To make changes to the mouse and mouse pointers we can follow the following steps:
    1.Click on the start menu and click on the point control panel.
     2. Double click on the icon mouse.
    3. Set the mouse option and click on the button OK.








Some other catecory of my computer

   Control panel:- Control panel is full of specialized tools that are used to change the way windows looks and behaves. Some of these tools help you adjust settings that make our computer more fun to use.For example, use mouse option to replace standard mouse pointers with animated icon that  move on our screen,other tools help us set up windows sothat our computer is easier to use.  For example,if we are left-handed,we can use mouse option to switch the mouse buttons so that the button on the right performs the primary functions of selecting and dragging.When we first open control panel, we will see some of the most commonly used control panel item organized by category.To find out more information about an item in control panel while in category view,hold our mouse pointer over the  icon or category name and read the text that appears.To open one of these items,click its icon or category name .Some of these item will open to a list of task we can perform,as well as a selection of individual control panel items.
