You can open the mouse properties toolbox either by locating the mouse icon on your toolbar, or by searching Programs under the Windows menu for Kensington and opening MouseWorks and mouse properties. A toolbox similar to the one shown above will open.

Always program one convenient button to perform the DragLock function when using a trackball. By programming one of the buttons to "drag" it is possible to avoid clicking and moving the trackball simultaneously which is used to select areas of data or phrases or move windows. This motion is very harmful to the hand! The drag button even works in such programs as Photoshop while using the various tools like the airbrush, cloning stamp, and paintbrush which normally require large amounts of "click and drag" motion. Click the button once to select the starting point, select or paint the area you want, then click again to capture the data or end the painting action.

Kensington Expert trackballs have a scroll ring surrounding the ball. Scrolling properties are set under the Scrolling tab on the Mouseworks tab.

All Kensington devices have an optional break reminder. If you don't have a break reminder on your computer, it's a good idea to set this using the Break Reminder tab. Set the time between breaks and set whether you'd like a visual or audible reminder. The visual reminder can interfere with some applications, but the audible reminder doesn't seem to cause problems.
