Hide system cursor when game is in focus

When running in Windowed mode the game displays both in-game cursor and system cursor. This may be annoying for some people. Below is the script to solve this issue.

Use AutoHotkey^{[citation needed]}

1. Download and install AutoHotkey.

2. Start it, edit the script and use the one provided below:
