Default mouse size change on display dpi change

why does the size of my mouse change when i increase the dpi in display
settings ? i have 2 pcs: one with windows2000 and one with XP. the mouse
pointer size does NOT change in windows2000, but it does in XP. i want the
behavior to be the same as windows2000 -- increase dpi and font sizes in
general but keep the mouse pointer as is. any ideas ??

thx

You could just change the mouse cursor to a different size, so that with the
diff dpi it looks the same as it was.

Go to the control panel - mouse - cursors, and choose a larger cursor, or
simply a theme of larger pointers.
