Want to change the size of that 'blinking cursor' ?

Is your cursor a little too slender to see?

Here is how you can make it larger and more visable.

Windows Vista:
Start>Control Panel>Ease of Access Center>Make the Computer Easier to See
Towards the bottom you'll see an option to set the thickness of the blinking cursor.
Just set it to the desired width and see if like the changes.

Windows 7:
Start>Control Panel>Ease of Access>Ease of Access Center>Make the Computer Easier to See

Windows XP:
Start>Control Panel>Accessibility Options. Choose the Display Tab and then under Cursor Options you can set your width.

Voila! Instant cursor weight gain!
