Deactivation of Mouse by Registry Changes

[Bernd]

Hello to All,

Can I deactivate the mouse-service by changing the
registry entries for the mouclass-service? I think there
was the "Start"-Parameter in the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Moucla
ss, which I can change. But there a several values for
this parameter when I remember right.

Greetings Bernd

That is not a Service, it's a Device Driver. The usual method to
disable a pointing device is to either disconnect it (while powered
down) or to Un-Install the mouse driver perhaps. Windows may try to
re-install a driver on the next boot if a pointing device is
connected.

That registry item is
valuename = "Start"
data = 0x00000001
"1" indicates "System: Loaded by I/O subsystem. Specifies that the
driver is loaded at kernel initialization."
I do *NOT* recommend you alter that.

Thank you Mark for your informations.
Instead I tried:
valuename = "Start"
data = 0x00000004

that works like deactivating the device driver instead of
deinstallation. In the device manager there are some
devices which have also the possibility for deactivation,
but not the mouse and the keyboard. And with manipulation
of the registry I also could deaktivate these devices.

Thanks again and bye

I am glad to hear that it worked out successfully for you and to hear
that in this case a manual setting of "4" can disable it without any
repercussions.
