I've always wanted this, but it would be necessary to disable the normal Windows
mouse operations in the window. It could get very confusing since as soon as the
mouse cursor left the window, it popos back into Windows mode. If you really
want the mouse, run the application full screen, then you've got no problems (as
long as you loaded the mouse driver before Windows).
