You should create a bat file in that archive with this content: copy cursors\*.* %windir%\cursors\ /Y call aero_cursors.reg It's a bit easier this way. Admin: That's right, but if you want to install it automatically, use the Windows 2008 Workstation Converter!

Great site! Another suggestion for the sequence of this site. If the cursors are already set up (and registered) by the time you apply the Aero theme, Windows automatically applies the Aero cursors (as one would expect). I know it’s not much, just a few clicks…

Excellent website, really, it is. On the subject of mouse pointers etc., is it possible to get the blue rectangle when dragging the mouse in a file folder? A tiny, TINY thing I know, but it mildly annoys me that it’s not there.

Admin: Thanks for your compliments! To get the blue rectangle do this: Start -> Run -> SystemPropertiesPerformance -> Visual Effects [tab] -> [at least] check the “Show translucent selection rectangle”. Good luck!

Perhaps the aero_cursors.reg should be change from
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Cursors\Schemes] to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cursors\Schemes] so that every user get aero cursors not just the current user.

Admin: You are right. Updated all 5 mirrors with the new .zip!

Thanks for this information! I tried it and looks like it works perfectly

The problem is not x64 vs 86. it’s that the reg file ONLY adds the cursor files to the current user. If you change the reg file so that the KEY that gets updated is “[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cursors\Schemes]” rather than “[HKEY_CURRENT_USER....]” then it will work for all users.

This does not appear to work in 2008 x64.... Admin: Works on Server 2008 x64 too, however if in some rare cases it doesn't: create the new schemes manually in the Pointers tab of the Mouse configurationitem in the Control Panel by selecting the extracted cursors for each classic cursor and after that clicking Save As.
