Cannot remove mouse pointer!

My embedded system (SP1) runs on standard PC hardware and when booting, the
mouse pointer shows when I get the first blue-colored screen and stays there
when explorer comes up. Then when a full-screen (OpenGL) app runs, its still
there. Note: There is no mouse connected to the system! How do I get rid of
the pointer?
 
The solutions dont really work for me. I need the mouse for maintenance
purposes so I cannot remove the driver. Also, I dont have access to the
source of the full-screen app and the other application that is running (that
I have acces to the source) is a console application....
 
You should read some [all] of the threads I sent you the link to. There have been posted lots of tricks how to hide mouse cursor
without removing the mouse support completely. E.g., mouse support is needed when a touch screen pointing device is attached but the
mouse functionality itself is not required.

For instance, you can set a transparent image for the curser under this reg key: (you can use nullmouse.cur)
[HKCU\Control Panel\Cursors],@.

Or, from your start-up (shell) app or a driver you have source access to, set mouse position to somewhere out of the screen area
(e.g. SetCursorPos(10000, 10000)).
