Put the Touch Pointer on the taskbar in Vista

Hilton Locke of Microsoft has posted a nice tip for those brave souls who have put Vista on a UMPC (that would be you, Kevin).  He points out that the pointer can be difficult to see in Vista but not to worry, you can put the Touch Pointer on the taskbar to make an enlarged cursor just a tap away.

Touch Pointer

  • Right-click on the Taskbar
  • Click on Toolbars
  • Select Touch Pointer

Voila!  It will always be at your beck and call.
