Makes sense.
I don't know that you can hide the pointer but Windows lets you choose
different cursors for its various pointers. (Control Panel, Mouse, Pointers
tab)
If you have a copy of VB (or probably one of the other MS programming
languages) it includes IMAGEDIT.EXE, a little editor that lets you create/edit
icons and ... bingo! ... cursor files. Open an existing cursor file (from
C:\Windows\Cursors) and delete all but a tiny dot or everything, save it as a
new CUR file and select that as your cursor.
In case you don't have a cursor editor, I've put a couple up here:

<a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration: none;' href="http://www.rdpslides.com/dot.cur" target="_blank">http://www.rdpslides.com/dot.cur</a>
One is a one-pixel dot, the other is nothing.
You'll probably need to rightclick the link and choose "Save target as" to suck
those big badboys (OVER 700 bytes EACH!!!!) down the wire atcha.
