Hello

I've looked through the forums and manuel and have not been able to find mention of a way of hiding the cursor. My intended application is more of a digital signage application. Content selections are not going to on the screen of the computer running Chrome in Inteset Secure Lockdown.

Id this a feature and I missed it, anybody know of a way to do it?

Thanks,

It's plain old Windows 7 with standard screen. Don't want to have to run mouse off edge of the screen at startup.

That did the trick!

A couple notes about my experiences with the linked suggestion:

http://www.jholjhaal.com/hide-mouse-cursor-on-windows-with-mouse-pointer-scheme/

Read the article carefully, I found it confusing at first. Further into the text there is mention of a download, it's a hyperlink. You need to install this Scheme. Only way I figured out how to do that was to find the folder where cursors are kept (C:/Windows/Cursors) and drop it in.

Also practice your navigating Windows with only the keyboard skills before trying it out. The cursor disappears across the whole system.

I'm experimenting with a solution that effect the cursor only in Chrome:

Will post results and observations which works best after I do some testing.
