Can you completely hide the mouse cursor?
CapriRS302:
I have followed most of the guidelines on the wiki and a few other sources to make my machine have an invisible cursor, but regardless I always seem to see the default cursor flash on the screen for a split second right as windows starts up.
Is there any way to modify that cursor file so that it isn't seen at all?
tel0004:
I wonder if it would be easier to instead to change the cursor to a 1x1 dot (a similar color as the background, which would be unnoticeable. I question if that would work though, because if the cursor is popping up before windows is fully loaded, then any windows settings have not been loaded yet.
CapriRS302:
Actually I have my cursor set to be 1 dark grey pixel, so that you can barely see it when it moves, but for a split second windows loads its default cursor before it switches.
Also, before I started monkeying around with the registry to hide the cursor, the cursor would disappear when Maximus Arcade loaded up, now when MA loads up I see the cursor on the screen until I try to move it, then it vanishes. Any ideas?
Blanka:
Set up a 2-screen desktop. Let it boot into the invisible one. Or edit the original mouse-cursor image.

Great little tool for hiding the mouse. It also launches your front end of choice instead of Explorer amongst other things.
