Microsoft has built in a way to activate this shadow representation of the mouse and thereby give the mouse a little more depth . This activation of the mouse shadow is simply cursor appearance improved. Unfortunately, this mouse shadow is deactivated by default in all Windows versions and we would like to show you here in this short mouse tutorial how you can activate the Windows mouse shadow .
