Hi and welcome to Andys Animated Cursors
Here you will find simply the biggest and best totally free collection of Animated Cursors (Mouse Pointers) for 'Windows' on the Internet. Including all cursors duplicated for 'Lefties' !!

Make your PC a fun place to work, replace that dull boring default Arrow 'Mouse Pointer' with an exciting Animated one. There are hundreds of fun Cursors to choose from in various different categories that are all really easy, safe and fast to replace, anyone can do it !

Have a look around and enjoy the site, theres a Cursor here for everyone.

The fun part !
Firstly download your chosen Cursor by clicking on the image ('Lefties' should click on the 'L') and waiting for the download dialogue box to appear (You can also right click and select 'Save target as', do NOT choose 'Save picture as' because that is not a '.ani' file !) Once the box has appeared select 'Save' and choose a location on your PC (Don't forget where !).


ALL Files are 'zipped' so you will need to extract the '.ani' file first ! Confused ?  Then click HERE


Go to 'Control Panel' (Start/Control Panel) then click 'Printers and other hardware' (Category view) then click 'Mouse' then choose the 'Pointers' Tab at the top. Under 'Customize' make sure the 'Nomal Select' is highlighted and then click on the 'Browse' button. Find the location that you downloaded your Cursor to and then double click on it. You Cursor is now loaded but needs saving, click on 'Save As' then give your 'scheme' a name (ie.. Andys Pointers) and finally click OK.

Notes.
The preview window in the Mouse pointer settings often displays the Animation at a much slower speed than it actually is, so make sure you try it out before thinking it's too slow !!
On Windows 98 and before there is quite often a lot of VERY annoying 'flickering' on Animated Mouse pointers (Also maybe on any old slow CPU's). This is NOT a problem with my Cursors but the operating system itself. If you get it badly maybe trying another will help, some have a lot fewer frames in them.
If you ever change the location of your Cursor (Or delete it) when you re boot your PC it will have reverted back to the standard OS pointer, also you will then receive an error message when opening up the 'Mouse' settings again. It's no problem just re follow the procedure above !
