The executable file extension of point32.exe is the main component of the software for Intellipoint for Microsoft’s line of Intellimouse products. The file’s sole purpose is to enable the additional features of the mouse, those which were previously not accessible without the file. However, the file for this process is already installed through the software for newer versions of Windows operating systems. This means that you can do without the file if you have Windows Vista or higher running your computer. On the other hand, if you are not very particular about the functions of your mouse other than the most basic ones; then you actually do not need the file. Your Intellimouse will still run without the file, except that you will not be able to access the special features of the mouse. Overall, most of the users who have encountered the file, opted to simply uninstall it altogether so they can have one less program to worry about.
