Move your cursor without mouse

This is a very old and popular trick but recently I found out that many of my friends doesn't know about this feature. This feature may be used when you don't have a mouse or simply if your cat has swallowed up your mouse (just kiddin'). Though the well known Tab key may help you that time but everyone knows how hard is to work with that key. Now this tip will show you how to operate the mouse cursor without a mouse using the 'mousekeys'

Follow the given steps to activate the keyboard mouse:

First, of all you would need an account with administrative rights.

To activate this feature, press Alt+Shift+NumLock keys. A small MouseKey box will pop up.

Alternatively, you can navigate via:
Start -> All program -> Accessories -> Accessibility -> Accessibility Wizard


Click on Settings button if you need to adjust the mouse cursor detail settings.

After which, you will be presented with a dialog box and now you can manage all your "mouse settings" to adjust the acceleration and speed.

Controls for mouse corsor after mousekeys enabled:
-> 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 and 9 keys are used to move the mouse cursor into different
direction.
-> Key 5 is used as left click button.
-> Insert key used to hold down mouse button.
-> + Sign used to double click on any object.
-> Delete button used to release the mouse.
-> Click on NumLock button to disable this keyboard mouse feature.

That should solve your temporary need for a mouse. Cool na??
