Re: Remove CMD Prompt Decoration

It is a courser/ prompt (same one you can turn off in terminal) is there a way to remove that globally for the system. I can tell its a prompt, as the browser opens up it is there before hand when script is loading, it sits and blinks as the browser opens then just sits. :/
