Re: RDP User needs MousePointer change

You can change the pointer from inside a TS session exactly like you do in a
local session
http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsvista/pointerlook.aspx.

Are you trying to do this with a script or program? In that case you will
have to use something like SetSystemCursor
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms648395(VS.85).aspx).

Re: RDP User needs MousePointer change

Hi,

Thankyou, I gone through both links.

Let me elaborate my situation. I have windows server 2008 terminal server,
published my application using TS RemoteApp. Now, when the user login into my
RemoteApp (Just only one application is published), so, inside this
application, the user wants a customised mouse pointer. Can you guide me
further.

Regards.

Re: RDP User needs MousePointer change

Mouse cursor setting is a user policy (under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\Cursors) and not specific to TS or Remote App. So if you set it for an
user on the TS server, the cursor should be available inside the RemoteApp
opened on the server as well.

Re: RDP User needs MousePointer change

Thankyou.

Your solution is working fine, provided the user is given full desktop access
to the terminal server. Where as in my scenario, I published a RemoteApp,
created .RDP file and distributed this to users. Even though I changed the
coursor in full desktop mode for this user, when I access it through
RemoetApp RDP file, the cursor is again showing as default cursor only, but
not the customized one.

In RemoteApp distributed .rdp file, I need mouse pointer customization
procedure.
