My little I thingy goes away the instant a character it typed and won’t comeback until I twitch the mouse.

"Hide cursor when typing" in the mouse settings?

That’s the one. AR found your answer AOR, it’s an OS setting, win2K might not actually have it (I don’t have a 2K machine handy to check) but XP definitely does, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Mouse, Pointer Options, down near the bottom is Hide Cursor When Typing. Of course navigation would be completely different in 2K, other than starting in Control Panel, if it has the option.

See, lots of little checkboxes. I knew there was an option for this, but I was poking around in Word’s settings looking for it, not the OS.
