The thing is I don't want the cursor, or rarely do I want it. I wish there was an option that you had to double click the scroll wheel to activate it or something like that. It's not a big deal, just a mild annoyance of mine

Oh, I see what you mean now. Here's how to disable it:

Thanks, I'll check it out when I'm home later tonight. Not sure if I want it completly disabled or not though. I have gotten better with the remote over time, so it's not as much of an issue as when I first got it.

It can be re-enabled, but there's a few steps each way. If the cursor appears at an unwanted time you can click on the direction circle and it will disappear again. You're right though, there should be an easy way to disable/enable it but there isn't.
