Tip of the Week: Moving your cursor without a mouse
With the popularity of wireless keyboards and mice on today's PCs, one of the downsides is when your wireless device loses its connection or has a dead battery, you are stuck. The next time you find yourself without a mouse but need to move the cursor, remember this week's tip:
Press the Alt+Shift+NumLock keys all at once to launch the MouseKey box then press your Enter key. This will convert your numeric keypad into a functional mouse. When you want to go back, simply press the Alt+Shift+NumLock again and select Cancel.
