    Hi all,

    i'm using Parallels Tools to run Windows on my Mac. As i'm administrator for web servers, i'm using putty very often. But as the mac is having a black mouse cursor, i can't see the mouse when i'm hovering the black ssh shells.

    I always have to disable the "Mouse Synchonization"-Option to see it. But Parallels Tools doesn't save this permanently.

    Any idea how to set this in the registry, or on the Mac?

    Kind regards,
    Blackbit

    Hi,
    don't you think about changing black mouse cursor to something colorfull? ;)
    have a look at:

    CursorZoom (freeware):
    http://www.joar.com/cursorzoom/

    MightyMouse (shareware):
    http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/mightymouse/

    iCursor:

    There is also a shareware product called Pinpoint (http://www.macchampion.com/pinpoint_collections.shtml)
    There are several collections of pointers available and you can make your own if you're so inclined.

    Mousepose (http://www.boinx.com/mousepose/) which is very useful for finding your cursor on a large screen - you hit a hotkey and the rest of the screen dims, but where the cursor is remains highlighted.

    and so on and so forth...
