Change Mouse Pointer Schemes
Tired of seeing the standard white arrow mouse pointer? Windows XP offers a number of alternative pointer schemes.
From [Start] select [Control Panel] [Appearance and Themes] then under the [See Also] section on the left, click [Mouse Pointers] and select the [Pointers] tab
Select a predefined scheme from the Scheme section or build a custom scheme using the Customize, Browse and Save As buttons. Click [Apply] and [OK] to exit.
