No. LoadCursor returns a handle to the current cursor, not to the standard one (on Win NT). After that if you use this handle (with SetSystemCursor) to change another cursor, these 2 cursors will be switched. It doesn't make to much sense, isn't it? Example:

*-- This returns a handle to the current arrow cursor, not the standard one.
* This might be changed, so, there's no way to have the needed handle.
lnHandleToArrow = LoadCursor( 0, 32512)
*-- This should change the IBeam cursor to Arrow,
* but it will switch the 2 cursors.
lnError = SetSystemCursor( lnHandleToArrow, 32513)

This is why, on Windows NT, you must work with copies of the cursors.

>>Win32API error code 127 is "The specified procedure could not be found." This message is kinda generic error message. :) I mean: it comes from many causes, usually something intern to Win32API. So, don't start to look for a missing procedure.
