According to this forum topic there should be a registry key you can change:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPEnh]
"UseScrollCursor"=dword:00000000
Just add this to registry. Either copy-paste the above text into Notepad, save it as a .reg file and run it, or manually add it using RegEdit (on my system, this value didn't exist, so I had to create it manually). Afterwards, restart SynTPEnh.exe and SynTPHelper.exe (use TaskManager to kill them, then restart them from the Synaptics installation folder, which is usualy C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP). Or simply restart your system.
+1 - Also note that on Windows 7 the .reg
file will have to start with Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
, see this answer for reference.
This Registry hack works also on Windows 10. โ Simรณn โ 6 years ago
I somehow managed to disable this in my old windows installation without modifying any icon files. There must be a way. โ Zulakis โ 13 years ago
And yes, I only want to remove the icon. โ Zulakis โ 13 years ago
