Where are pointer schemes?

L

Larry(LJL269)

I would like to export a pointer scheme called MINE defined in
Control Panel > Mouse > PointerSchemes but I could not find any file
or folder with that name. Maybe it is in the Registry?

Your help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks- bye- Larry

try HKCU\Control Panel\Cursors\Schemes

Its just a listing of the cur and ani files that make up the scheme.

Should also be in a *.theme file in %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes or
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

Possibly named Custom.theme.

You can open *.theme files with Notepad, listed under [Control
Panel\Cursors]
