Disable Mouse from OS, Maintain communication w/ Max?

Hey I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way (software/driver?) that could make a mouse be totally ignored by the OS, but the hi will still receive messages from it.

I want to use all of the functions on my mouse as a controller, but I'm worried about some how accidentally closing a window or something

try the message ;max hidecursor. you may want to also include a way to trigger the message ;max showcursor as well :)
