Cursorfx

CursorFX is a very easy to use Windows application that allows you to change the default mouse cursor of the operating system with new and more attractive designs. Although it's supposed to change a feature of the operating system, CursorFX does the whole job pretty well, so you're on the safe side all the time, even without a backup. The worst that could happen is a package to fail to load, in which case you end up with the standard cursor included in Windows.
