SetSystemCursor is declared like that:

BOOL SetSystemCursor ( HCURSOR hcur, DWORD id)

and replaces the standard cursor identified by the id with your cursor identified by hcur.

That means that if you want to replace the hourglass cursor with your "wait" cursor, you should:

SetSystemCursor( HandleToMyCursor, OCR_WAIT)

So, you already know which is the standard cursor, because it is you the one who replaced it. In the previous example, it's OCR_WAIT.
