The problem is that my file is not a valid .cur file. I renamed an Icon (.ico) to .cur which is most likely the problem. But, how do I make it a valid Cursor file?

If you renamed myfile.mdb to myfile.doc would you expect Microsoft Word to open it successfully? The extension doesn't change the contents of a file, only how Windows tries to handle it. An ICO file with a CUR extension is still an icon file. Visual Studio allows you to create cursor and icon objects. You'll need to open the icon, copy its graphical content and paste that into a new cursor. You then save the cursor as a resource and you can access it. I would suggest using the My.Resources method I showed previously.

The sarcasm isn't needed. I am thankfull for everybody's help! You guys should get paid for everyword.

Now, is there a way to make this custom cursor a System-Wide change?
