Click in the top box (in blue). If you like, you can change it to another combination, such as CTRL-ALT-Z or ALT-X, or if you like, you can disable the hotkey altogether. This means you won't be able to turn CursorXP off except via the "disable all" option, but it also means it won't be conflicting with anything. To disable it, just press ctrl and let go, it will go to "none".

Click OK then OK and your cheat box should appear in the game!
