This was answered a little while back but I can't find it. Sorry to ask
again - I lost the printout.

Hi Peter,

The mouse cursors are stored on a per-user basis in the registry at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\Cursors

Peter,
You will find the pointers in C:/Windows/Cursors in Explore.
Right click your START button and select EXPLORE and navigate
to the above.

Thanks guys. I'll explain. This really isn't a problem but I "saved" a
pointer theme which now duplicates (3DBronze) in the list of choices under
mouse pointers. I can only find one file of mouse pointers, however. I was
wondering if I could remove that "saved" one. I switch screensavers
frequently and was hoping to save 3DBronze to each desktop theme, seemingly
I can't do this.
