Tired of that boring little mouse pointer?

Go to Control Panel then Mouse then Pointers then choose Dinosaur and watch the cute Dinosaur as the system is busy instead of the boring hour glass.

I hate all the other mouse pointers, they bug the life out of me!

Working on a laptop for a friend this week resulted in seeing a running horse for ages instead of the hour glass, I soon changed it back to it's default.

lol. i settle for the bronze cursor configuration. no dinos for me

From my prespective, winvista club is a very good forum for all things windows related.
They have helped me and many others in the past. Excellent hints and advice!

I use the Linux cursors (on Windows). All the XP cursors are ugly :unsure:

The same here. Some of those non-traditional shaped cursors I've never been able to get used to, it seems as if the pin point accuracy is off by a tidbit.
