Is There a Way to Auto-Hide Your Cursor?

Hello--

We are running a PowerPoint show in our lobby and we need a way to auto-hide
the cursor. Are there any settings or utilities that can do this?

The computer is Windows XP SP3.

Thanks,

Hmmm - if you're using a PowerPoint slide show in full screen I think it
does this by default, no?

When you run a PowerPoint slide show from within PowerPoint (.ppt), yes, it
does. However, we are running a PowerPoint show (.pps) and it doesn't.

The simple-minded solution I use is to move the cursor
to the edge of the screen. In fact, on my machine with
my monitor settings, moving it to the extreme right or
extreme bottom moves it out of the displayed area
altogether.

That's probably what I'd do too, honestly.

Yea, we tried that too. It looks like it is off the screen locally, but the
remote display is a large screen LCD, and so it shows up.

Hmmm. Wish I had a better answer, but I don't. Maybe you could post in a PPT
group?
