Ok, Ive got this really cool cursor, that is in the format .cur . Would anybody here know how use a program (preferably a free one) to extract the cursor picture from the .cur file? If they do/have done this, can they please tell me how?
Cheers,
Zeka

how about you just make a print scr when using your cursor, and cut it out in ps or whatever?

I wouldnt know, my best suggestion is use a search engine and look for stuff on cursors.
