First, some complaining... The solution to disable (or not use) the tablet menu buttons is not what I consider a viable work-around: the Intuos comes with those buttons, so why shouldn't users be able to use them? :) More importantly, I've assigned a number of keystroke "macros", the decision becomes whether to not use the tablet menu buttons or live with the large mouse pointers. Also, I searched all over the web for a solution, and this is the only one mentioned. Even the Wacom forums don't have another solution, though the postings in their forum ended back in January. Now for some complimenting... The solution listed by Janzz worked! I added an extra step of clicking the "Save As" button to save the default mouse pointer scheme under a new name. I then clicked some of the tablet menu buttons... the keyboard command I assigned ran fine and the mouse pointer did <strong>not</strong> change! Thanks!

I would never have guessed that strip had anything to do with it. Strange. Luckily I never use it. Ooh thank you. I would never have guessed that strip had anything to do with it. Strange.

Only had a quick look for single button though to disable the whole thing though; should have guessed. Works a treat and the menu strip was rubbish anyway so hurrahs!
