In schools, still they teach C++ in ancient environment. Well, when I was studying C++ in school time, running Turbo C++ language on Windows 7 computer was a difficult task. I used to apply some complicated tricks to make it to run on my PC.
You might have Downloaded Turbo C++ software package, downloaded and installed DOSBox tool separately if you are using traditional method to run Turbo C++. The process doesn’t ends here, mounting Turbo C++ with DOSBox each time to use it on windows 7/8 and finally sticking with freezing problem at full screen mode also makes it much difficult. You switch between full screen mode and desktop mode by pressing the combination of ALT+ENTER button. Really, these are complicated steps.

How to bring out cursor control from DOSBox to desktop?
When you get into Turbo C++ software, you cursor control works only within the software windows. It doesn’t get out of the software windows when switched to normal desktop mode. This may be very frustrating. To solve this you may need to close the program and loose your hard work. To do it easily you can press WINDOWS button on your keyboard and your cursor control will come out of DOSBox window. It is quite easier than you were thinking. Isn’t it?
