My Mom can't find the pointer!!!

My Mom, age 83 got a new laptop and insisted on using the touchpad instead of the external mouse. But she kept losing the pointer. I went into Settings from her Start button and clicked on pointer options. From there I selected the function to make her pointer "glow" or "ripple" when she touches the control key. She hasn't lost her cursor since. And I made it bold and big so she can't miss it. Some of our patron's might find this useful and we can set it up for them on our patron computers during their session.
