a line is added to the DOSSHELL.INI file if you are using an old Microsoft or Logitech mouse driver. If you choose to to disable the mouse, the following line is added:   mouseinfo = ,disabled If you choose to use the mouse anyway, the following line is added:   mouseinfo = ,ignore To disable or re-enable the mouse in the MS-DOS Shell, these lines can be edited using a text editor such as MS-DOS Editor, or deleted from the DOSSHELL.INI file. Deleting the MOUSEINFO = line causes the following message to be displayed when Shell is restarted:
