2.) It is better to use the Mouse Hiding Tool as a portable application!

There are advantages and disadvantages to using the Mouse Cursor Hider tool as a portable application on Windows. Here are some pros and cons:

Advantages (Pro)



1. No installation required:

The tool can be run directly from a USB stick or other location without the need for installation. This is especially convenient for use on multiple computers.

2. Easy removal:

Since no installation is required, the program can be removed simply by deleting the folder.

3. No administrative rights required:

In most cases, no administrative rights are required to run a portable application, which makes it easier to use on systems with limited configuration.

4. Low system impact:

Portable applications leave no trace in the Windows registry, thus minimizing potential system impact and conflicts.

5. Flexibility:

You can easily use the application on different systems without having to reconfigure it each time.

Disadvantages (Cons)



1. Limited system integration:

Portable applications often have less deep integration capabilities with the operating system, which can lead to limitations in functionality.

2. Manual updates:

Portable applications must be updated manually, which can be time-consuming and carries the risk of using outdated versions.

3. Configuration files:

Since the configuration files are stored in the working directory, inconsistencies may arise when used on different computers if the files are not transferred correctly.

4. Restricted use under certain circumstances:

If the application is installed in directories such as C:\Program Files\, errors may occur due to permission restrictions.

5. Security risks:

Portable applications can be more easily copied by unauthorized users and used on other systems, which can pose a security risk.

Conclusion



Using the Mouse Cursor Hider tool as a portable application on Windows provides a flexible and straightforward solution that is particularly useful for users who want to use the tool on multiple systems or without administrative privileges. However, limitations regarding system integration and security should be considered. It is important to weigh up the specific requirements and environments to make the best decision.
