  1. Win10 Unable to change default cursor


    Tried to change default cursor.

    From Settings I chose black, just the default size...hit apply. no change.

    From Ease of access, tried all nine variables, hit apply each time, no change

    From control panel I get the same menu as Settings. Same result.

    When I hit apply, the cursor turns to an hourglass for a moment, then back to the default cursor.

    I'm a moderately advanced user, no expert, but I never had a problem before. Just need a bit more contrast so I can see it....the old eyes aren't as good as they once were.


    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.


    Edit: This may mean something or nothing. The control button when pushed, does not show the position of the cursor, it is low and right of the actual position by quite a bit. I never really used it before, so I don't know if this is normal or if it has always been that way on my computer if it is not normal.


    Just an update....

    :)

    Unable to change default app by protocol or filetype.


    Hi, I don't have Acrobat installed. With Sumatra as my default pdf reader, that hyperlink to a pdf docoument opens in.. yes.. Sumatra. Changing to Edge:

    the hyperlink opens in... yes.. Edge.

    If, as seems the case, Bluebeam is correctly associated with pdf files, I can't say why the hyperlink fails. Your guess about the protocol may be right- I don't know. If you could make any change to that to test that theory, as you suggest, that would help.

    If you wish to view the relevant registry key, a convenient way to get there is via free Filetypesman - a rt click option.

    Changing default font of Sticky Notes (in Win10)

    I recently upgraded fromWin8.1 to Win10 and noticed the StickyNotes default font is still Segoe. How can I change it to either of:

    • Arial size 10
    • Cambria size 11
    • Any other font (any other size)
    Thanks.
