Everytime I reboot, i need to to go the Control Panel / Mouse Properties / Pointer Options and cranck up the pointer speed. Is there a way to persist this setting?

I've had the same problem with Vista and Windows 7.

You could throw a batch file in your startup folder:

reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Mouse" /v MouseSensitivity /t REG_SZ /d 20 /f

Just change the sensitivity as desired. 1 (lowest) - 20 (highest). Save as mouse.bat for example, then put it in the startup folder in your start menu.

Doesn't work for me in Windows 7. The only thing that seems to work is by using the Mouse section of the control panel. – Pat Jan 21 '11 at 15:39
@Pat you have to run it as administrator. – John T Jan 21 '11 at 16:39
I have it in my startup folder, so it runs under my (admin) user on login. When I run it by right-clicking and selected 'run as administrator', it still doesn't work. – Pat Jan 24 '11 at 15:29
