How to use a mouse in MS-DOS

Many people are led to believe that MS-DOS does not support mice due to crucial operations usually being performed using a keyboard; however, mouse drivers exist for MS-DOS (and are useful in games), and certain utilities - such as the MS-DOS Shell - do take advantage of a mouse. In fact, Microsoft did release mouse drivers and utilities for its mice dating as far back as 1983.

This video is designed to walk through the installation of Microsoft's own mouse drivers, Microsoft Mouse (version 9.01), on MS-DOS 6.22.
