Solve : Bat file and mouse cursor?

Answer»

Hey all.
Google couldn't answer this (*gasp*) so I thought that the community could.

Question is:
Can I use a bat file to change the mouse cursors.
Many people are confused as how to change the current cursors being used for their mouse icon.

Also, the scheme of the mouse - can I change that using a bat.
Is the scheme saved in some sort of notepad file? I don't know where the file is...
Please help!

I don't think it's possible...Well... How does Windows do it then?
Sure, there's a GUI, but it must be saving the information somewhere...
I mean... when you copy and paste a file somewhere, it's essentially just the, "xcopy" command done in a GUI layout...

Ahhh!!

Well there are .theme files...but I think they might be a bit too complex for batch to handle...anyway, batch makes itself usefull for doing repetative tasks, like MOVING backups, can't you just change your cursor manually?As I said before, I'm sending out the cursor to a couple of people (who loved it by the way, so please try it :-D) who aren't that great with computers...
If I could just change it with a BAT file, it would be much easier.Quote from: Supervisor on April 20, 2009, 03:37:07 PM

I'm sure it would, but it ain't gonna happen. Once again, we ask: why do people think that batch files can do absolutely anything?Quote from: Dias DE verano on April 20, 2009, 03:46:31 PM

Do it in one EXREMELY complicated step, or about 3 easy steps.Quote from: Helpmeh on April 20, 2009, 03:48:00 PM

Go on then, maestro, get your violin out and give us a tune...main.cpl is the control panel for mouse.

you could google the command LINE argument needed to pass to main.cpl, as i don't have the list.Quote from: Dias de verano on April 20, 2009, 03:46:31 PM

Heck I have batch doing every thing from washing the dishes to taking the dog for a walk. Just don't get me to try and get it to do anything computer wise.
