Hi Paolo

Thanks for your response. However, I'm puzzled as to how I
could use this call to achieve the complete hiding of the
cursor throughout all windows on my desktop. 

If I use SetSystemCursor to replace the normal cursor
(OCR_NORMAL) with a NULL cursor - then perhaps (I haven't
tested it yet) the normal cursor would dissappear.

However, when the cursor moves over, say, an edit box, the
cursor will change to the OCR_IBEAM cursor, and will
surely then reappear?

Should I replace every system cursor with NULL values,
and restore them to their original values when I want
to reshow the cursor?

Regards
Steve
