Default Transparent mouse under touch screen

I only have been using touch screens with Windows 7 and Windows 8 for
under a month. So I am not an expert or anything. But I accidentally
enabled a transparent mouse under Windows 7 and I don't know how I did
it. It makes using the Windows desktop really nice with your finger
(doesn't work with a stylist/pen). And my question is how did I do this
and can I enable this too under Windows 8?

Good guess, but it wasn't there. I went on the Windows 7 machine and I
found it under "Pen and Input Devices" and under the Touch tab. And it
is a toggle that is called "touch pointer". Then I went to the Windows 8
machine same place and the tab is there, but no touch pointer option.
:-( Here is what it looks like on the screen, except it is transparent
on the screen.
