I seem to recall the Microsoft Mouse drivers for Windows 95 had a key shortcut to make lines radiate out of your cursor. Very useful on the low refresh rate LCDs where that cursor would appear like a submarine on the other side of the screen.

You can still do this (at least in Windows 7, the last time I checked.) Just look in the 'Mouse' section of your control panel, and select the one to make <Ctrl> radiate circles around your mouse :)
I can confirm it still works in Windows 8/8.1
also in 10. Didn't know about this feature. Thanks
It still has it, I use it because I lose my cursor on my dual monitors all the time.
I liked the "shroom mode" mouse option in one of the hack packs.

Trails, man....

And now I know what I'm using Resource Hacker for later on: changing "Pointer Trails" to "Shroom Mode". Thanks.
It’s still there – in windows itself even!
