My home computer is set so when a dialog box appears the arrow is
already over the default button. Where is the settings for this
feature? I want to do the same for my work computer. *both are WINDOWS
XP*

Hi mark800,

First, check your mouse software. For example, mine is a Logitech and
here is how I would enable "the cursor to jump to the highlighted
button of a new dialog box":

Mouse Properties / Motion / Enable Smart Move

If you don't have that option, you can edit your registry, but please
do so carefully.

Backing Up and Restoring the Windows XP Registry

To edit your registry go to Start / Run / type: regedit.exe
and follow the directions at the following link.

Enable/Disable Snap To Default Button
This forces the cursor to always jump to the default button of any
dialog or alert that opens.

There you go. If you have any questions, please post a clarification
request and wait for me to respond before closing/rating my answer.

Thank you,
hummer
