Multiple mouse cursors on a Windows Desktop
Ever thought of two mouse cursors at the same time? After googling I found a SDK from Microsoft, to make multi mouse available WITHIN your own application. I was wondering if this can be done system width.
The answer is YES!
There’s an open source project named CPNMouse (kinda outdated, last update was in 2004) but it works!
Download the custom driver (make sure you have the binary) from this website.
Select your mouse in device manager, and update the driver to the downloaded on. Instructions
If windows tells you there is no supported hardware in this driver follow these instructions (easy to fix!):
Windows 2000/XP/2003
Open Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information. If this is not available on your computer, you may also be able to use BusHound to obtain the information.
In this program select Components -> Input -> Pointing Devices
The information in under PNP Device Id is what you need. It is in the form USB\VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY\<something>
You need the numbers XXXX and YYYY
You must add a line to cpnmouse.inf. The line is “%CPNGroup.DeviceDesc1% = usbinst, HID\VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY“, where XXXX and YYYY are the numbers found earlier. You should add the line just after the other lines looking just like it
If you send the numbers to me, I will add them to the distribution
After you successfully installed this driver (on both mouses!) download and run the ordinary-binary application. This starts two mouse pointers witch can move separated.
It works, but the scroll function is lost (after the application is starts, not by installing the driver).
Try it yourself
PS: It’s working on Windows XP SP3

Purpose
To create visitors passes / name tags with QR-codes for festivals and events
Setup
Each QR-code contains the basic data on a person. It can simply be their names and e-mail addresses but can be extended to cover a complete business card including telephone numbers, faxes, hyperlinks and business address.
These are the different components:
The Myth: High Tech Computers (or HTC) recently replied to an XDA forum member inquiring about the bad battery life of his HTC EVO 4G with an thoroughly outlandish procedure.
“To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly:
- Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more
- Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour
- Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour.
Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well” (source)
