Hide cursor while typing

Does anyone know how to add a function for hiding the cursor while i type. I
cant find a checkbox in keyboard properties for this function. I have a dell
e521 with dell keyboard. My old computer had a checkbox for this but not
vista. Would also love to change the speed of the menus opening also.
Hmmmmmmmm hope you can help, thanks

The option for what your looking for is in the mouse properties section of
your control panel. hope it works for you, it doesn't work for me.

Re: Hide cursor while typing

START>CONTROL PANEL (classic view)>MOUSE>POINTER OPTIONS (tab)>bottom of window, check the box "hide cursor while I type". Easy, simple, done! That do it for you?

One of the very few things I know the answer too. Now to move on to world peace, global warming, the economy, and is Hilary Clinton really qualified to be president by virtue of sleeping with one?
