Using the Configure menu to install (or remove) the new
cursor(s) to load automatically when you load Windows
You can start creating a new cursor as soon as you load the
Change Cursor menu. Move the cursor into the detail
window—it then assumes the shape of a pencil. Now click
the left or right pointing device button on the grid elements
you want to color. After you have completed designing the
cursor to your satisfaction, you can save it by using the File
menu described later in this section.
If you want to restore a grid element to its original shade or
color, click on the Screen option. Move your pencil cursor
to the grid element you want to erase, and click to the left
or right button you just changed to a Screen.
You can also select one of the seven default cursors from
the Change Cursor menu bar (described below) and edit it
to create a new cursor shape.

Note: Change Cursor must always run in background so
the custom cursors are available for other Windows
applications. Always exit the Change Cursor menu by
clicking on the Exit command in the File menu. This keeps
Change Cursor running in the background. Do not use the
Close command in the Control menu box unless you want
to stop running Change Cursor and revert to the Windows
default cursors.
After you complete your cursor, you can save it as a new
cursor under a new filename and/or install it as one of the
active cursors as described under "File Menu" and
"Configure Menu" later in this chapter.

Note: The Mouse control panel can override the Change
Cursor selection in other pointer options, such as "growing
cursor."
