Everyone has preferences about how they want their computer to work.
Some things are really important, like colour-blindness parameters.
Other preferences are much more minor, like how the mouse cursor should appear or move.
One of the minor mouse configuration options available in Windows is the mouse trail.
Its a minor decoration and serves no practical purpose.
However, some people like having a mouse trail and others dont.
To configure the mouse trail, press the Windows key, then pop in Mouse and hit enter.
This will initiate the parameters app on the mouse configuration page.
Next, you want to click Additional mouse options on the far right of the window.
Click Additional mouse options on the far right.
Clicking Additional mouse options will open a new Mouse Properties window.
Move to the Pointer Options tab then tick Display pointer trails.
As soon as you tick or untick this box the setting will apply.
However, if you terminate the window without clicking Apply or OK the change will immediately revert.
To do so, use the slider below the Display pointer trails checkbox.
Untick the Display pointer trails checkbox, then click Apply or OK to save the change.
