2. It’s easy to
switch your
mouse to
left-handed
mode. Ente
r “mouse” in
your Start
menu
search, and
select the
first entry.

3. Check the
“Switch primary
and secondary
buttons” box to
make your mouse
more left-hand
friendly. Now
your primary
select button is
your right button,
and the
secondary button
(commonly
referred to as
right-click) is the
left button.

4.  But, it can still be awkward to select items on
screen with your left hand using the default
cursors. MSDN has a free set of cursors designed
for left-handed users, that can fix this problem for
you. These cursors are exactly like the default
Aero cursors in Windows 7 and Vista, except they
are reversed to make them better for left-
handed use.
 The cursors are available in 3 sizes: normal, large,
and extra large. The normal ones are the same
size as the default ones in Windows 7; feel free to
choose the other sizes if you prefer them. Click
each link to download all 6 cursors for your size
(link below).

6.  Click “I Agree” after selecting the cursors
to accept the license agreement and
download them.

7.  Once you have all 6
cursors downloaded,
select the Pointers tab
in the Mouse Properties
dialog. Click the cursor
to change, and then
click Browse to select
the new cursor.

8. Browse to the folder you downloaded your
new cursors to, select the correct cursor, and
click Open.

9.  Do this for each of the 6 cursors to be changed. Strangely,
the Busy cursor (the spinning blue orb) is a static cursor, so you
may not wish to change it. All the other ones look and act
like their standard counterparts.
 Here’s the cursors to be changed, and their equivalents in the
default cursors:
 Normal Select: aero_arrow_left.cur Help Select:
aero_helpsel_left.cur Working in Background:
aero_working_left.ani Busy: aero_busy_left.cur Handwriting:
aero_pen_left.cur Link Select: aero_link_left.cur After
changing all the cursors, click Save As… to save this mouse
scheme so you can easily select it in the future. Finally click
Ok to close the Mouse Properties dialog and accept the
changes.
