Mouse pointer, or mouse arrow also known as mouse cursor is a movable indicator on a computer screen, which repeats the actual movement of the mouse and helps the user to execute the computer command. Generally the default mouse pointer is pretty straight forward and it is shaped like an arrow or human hand, which changes according to where it is placed.

For example when you hover the pointer over link or button it can start blinking, change the colour and etc. Personally I think that, mouse pointer is most important part of our computer and we should customize not only our mice, but also the look of our mouse pointer inside the mouse properties window.

Mouse Cursors For Windows. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Windows operating system uses two different formats for dealing with mouse pointers, they are.CUR (cursor) and.ANI (animated cursors). As you can tell by the name, main difference between two is the type of mouse scheme. Animated cursors are based on Microsoft RIFF format and contain individual frames of the animation, that’s why.ANI files take up around 82KB space, while default mouse pointers only 1-6KB space on a hard drive. It’s worth to mention that despite the difference between file formats, they are all located in the same folder.

The typical path for the cursors folder is “C: Windows Cursors” only difference is the actual drive letter where the Windows is installed, but in most cases it is local disk “ C”. So now you can search for this folder using Windows Explorer’s address bar or start Menu. Tip: Remember not to use final backslash after the word “cursor”, when you are searching for mouse pointer folder in start menu search bar. Otherwise you will get list of.CUR And.ANI files not the actual folder of mouse cursors.

So next time you decide to add new cursor, remember to keep those files organized.
