I have windows My blinking cursor was thin, now its fat.. How do I change this fat cursor to a thin one?

Answer 1

Press the [Insert] key.

Answer 2

It is because you might have accidentally hit the INS key, which would replace every character you typed instead of pushing it forward. Try it in a text editor such as notepad, wordpad, or Word!

All you have to do is hit the INS key (usually found top of DEL key) and you'll get the "thin" cursor again.

Answer 3

It all depends on what program you're using. Ussually a skinny curser means it's in insert mode while a fat one means its in overwrite mode. Try hitting the insert key on your keyboard.
