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.

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.

 

Regards.
