Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard 1.0A Ctrl key function

External Since: Jan 19, 2008 Posts: 2

This keyboard has a star on the Ctrl key that shows concentric circles on the
screen where the cursor is placed when the key is depressed. I wish to
disable this but cannot find where to re-assign the key. I use the key for
talk on web seminars and cannot at this time talk and have to type in all
responses. A pain for sure, can anyone shed light on the function and a way
to change the assignment?

Control Panel, Mouse, Pointer Options tab, then check under the visibility
section for "Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key"
