>>Alex & George - so I see what my problem is, the cursors are stored in a DLL, so the functions I need to store/restore a mousepointer (LoadCursorFromFile & SetSystemCursor) - apparently will not work with the DLL. Anyone have any other ideas for accomplishing this task in NT?

I've tried that (but probably not correctly). I was getting values from the registry, but they do not seem to exist in NT. Um, can you give me a clue how to use the GetClassLong? Where it fits in with these calls:

nCursorHandle = LoadCursor(0,nWhatGoesHereforNT?)

nError = SetSystemCursor(nCursorHandle,nWhatGoesHereforNT?)

I'm only making things worse so far, besides some errors, I now have the Windows logo for my mousepointer everywhere :) All I really need to do is change a CUR back to an Ibeam...
