Title: Hide mouse ...
Post by: PedroSilva on August 17, 2004, 07:10:41 pm
Hi,

Has anybody already found out how to hide the mouse pointer/timer on windows startup/shutdown ? Or at least put it out of site ?

Will magically re-appear when you move the mouse. :)

No problem . I haven't used it myself, but it looks perfect :)

It doesn't seem to work until it's lauched, so it doesn't hide it on startup ...   :(

Any other ideas ? I think I've seen around that there's a way to put the cursor of screen limits ... it doesn't hide it but it won't show ... Anybody knows how to do it ?

You could always just make a cursor thats 1 px in size... :P

If I don't find another solution, that's what I was thinking, but I would like to have the cursor visible if I need to use the windows explorer ...

Well...its still visible, just squint a little and you'll be able to see it  ;D

Yeah I've done the 1px cursor route.  Works quite well.  No one can see it unless they are looking for it.  But it's easy enough for you to use if you know its there.
