I opened up the "jukebox.ini" file and inside I found:

# Mouse sets the mode of the mouse.  Mouse = Disabled
# will disable the mouse, Mouse = Enabled will enable the
# mouse with a visible pointer, and
# Mouse = Touchscreen will enable the mouse with an
# invisible pointer.  (If you prefer, you can use Visible
# and Invisible in place of Enabled and Touchscreen.)
#
# Note that touchscreens are currently only supported
# under DOS and Windows XP.

Mouse = Enabled

Great!  I'll add the original problem to the bug list... Mouse=Disabled should have worked too.

You shouldn't have to move it though... it may be a slight variation among mouse drivers.  I should be able to fix it.
