is there any way (thru max or any other app) to change the mouse appearance, and make it look like a pointing hand, a cursor, etc??

Setting the cursor shape is a function of the OS API.

IMS, there is an 3PO that does this (by interfacing with the OS API). Have you tried looking maxobjects.com?

thank you, effectively in "maxobjects.com" I found the aka.mouse object, perfetc for me.
