How can I change the default cursor?

I need to know the location of this cursor?


I have already tried in imageres but not changed, please help me guys.

You are right its there in Imageres.dll but the one we see on setup screen is not from imageres, as I have already mentioned imageres has already been tried and not working.

lol, its not that easy mate, the one I am talking about appears when the installation starts.

So, I took a look at C:\Windows\SysWOW64\imageres.dll because I was interested in this as well.

I made a copy of the .dll and opened it in Resource Hacker.

The "Spinning blue Ring" cursor is in the PNG folder. There are then 4 sub-folders with 18 individual PNG images that represent the spinning animations. I am assuming that all 18 images in all 4 sub-folders would have to be swapped out individually to acquire the desired effect.

Too much time and effort for me!

Doing with "restorator and photoshop" would be easy mate.

Yeah, I thought you might have just wanted to change the cursors in general.

About as easy as changing the animated glowing Windows logo at bootup, huh.

I guess you didn't notice the screen, anyways about changing the boot animation, its also easy now-a-days mate with Windows 7 boot Updater, even in SP1.

Hmm, I'll have to check it out. Last time I looked into it couldn't find a way to do it.
