The Polite Pointer hides your mouse pointer whenever typing occurs and shows it again when the mouse moves. It also hides messy desktop icons and the Windows taskbar, beautifying your desktop while providing a moderate level of security and privacy while you are away from your computer.

When the mouse pointer covers text, information, or pictures on your computer screen it can be frustrating and counterproductive. The mouse pointer should only show when you are using the mouse. When you are not using the mouse it should hide or get out of the way. We have created a polite mouse pointer that gets out of the way when it is not being used.

The Polite Pointer features
  • Works with most applications. The Polite Pointer hides sixteen system cursors. This means that no matter what type of pointer is on the screen (hand, arrow, or hourglass), The Polite Pointer will successfully hide it. Because it hides the Windows system pointers, The Polite Pointer works with Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, FrontPage, Internet Explorer, Instant Messengers, Media Players, and most other applications. To better see how you can use The Polite Pointer to improve your computing experience, look at these screenshots.

  • Hides the mouse pointer. The Polite Pointer can hide the mouse pointer whenever any typing occurs on the keyboard. If hidden, the mouse pointer will automatically appear again when the mouse moves. Also, you can manually show the mouse pointer at any time by pressing the Escape key on your keyboard.

  • Moves the mouse pointer. The Polite Pointer can move the mouse pointer whenever any typing occurs on the keyboard. This can be used as an alternate method of getting the mouse pointer out of the way. This is good for those who do not want to hide the pointer. You can customize how far the pointer moves and in which direction.

  • Hides desktop icons and taskbar. The Polite Pointer can hide your desktop icons, and taskbar; and keep them hidden until you press the Escape key on your keyboard. This is great for temporarily beautifying a messy desktop. It also can add a moderate level of security and privacy while you are away from your computer.

  • Silently operates in the system tray. The Polite Pointer silently runs in your system tray waiting to assist you when typing occurs. You can quickly hide or show items by right clicking the system tray icon.

  • Provides feedback. The Polite Pointer can create a usage report to tell how you are using the software. After a few weeks using the demo, check out the usage report to see how The Polite Pointer is helping you.
