Before we get started, it’s a good idea to backup your Windows registry. To do this click Start >> Run. Enter “regedit” without quotes into the box and select ok. When the Registry Editor Window opens, make sure “My Computer” is selected and click File >> Export. Name and save the file in case you have to restore it.
Now let’s edit the Sensitivity of your mouse.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Find the values DragHeight and DragWidth. If they are not there then go ahead and create them as a “New String Value” (REG_SZ). The default values should be set to 4. To reduce the sensitivity, change the number to a higher value like 10. To increase sensitivity, change the number to a smaller value like 1.
