    Hi, everyone.
    I have a kiosk station, that is running a PowerPoint presentation automatically. The only problem is that the mouse cursor is showing on the screen (and usualy, right in the middle :( ).
    Does anyone know how can I make it dissapear (in a method that will allow me to bring it back if I'll need it ;) ).

    TIA.

    One thought that comes to mind is to use a "clear" mouse pointer. Should be pretty easy to find on the internet.

    There could also be a setting in PowerPoint to hide the cursor when running the presentation...

    Try this: When preparing your presentation in PowerPoint, on the menu bar click on Slide Show>View Show>right click on the screen>click on 'Pointer options" and select "Hidden ". Exit the slide show option and save your presentation. Reload into your kiosk setup.

    To get the pointer back, repeat the above only select "Automatic" instead of Hidden.

    Hope that works.
