Which file has mouse pointers? Can I insert them directly without making a addon file?

Cursors are kept in C:\WINDOWS\Cursors, so you can just add them to $OEM$\$$\Cursors.

Use reshack and add them to user32.dll

in ur windows, "install" the cursors and select them as default. then export the registry key under :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Cursors]
now place all the cursor files under $OEM$\$$\Cursors.
apply the reg file thru cmdlines.txt or runonceex.

good idea ricktendo64, for i can modify the user32.dll and place it in the base winxp distribution so that everytime i use it to slipstream, i need not worry abt the cursors. i have a problem. its expecting 1 bit files but i have 32 bit cursors. any way of doing this? i dont want to decrease the resolution of the cursors which i want to use.

I tries to put the pointers in user32.dll. However, it does not recognize .ani files. How do I put .ani files in?

instead, u can try installing the fonts and selecting them as default through runonceex.

for example, first as i told u install them in ur working xp and export the reg key to Scheme.reg.
place the cursor files in the $oem$ folder in ur distribution cd along with Scheme.reg and install.inf.
Then install the fonts using the command :

REG ADD %KEY%026 /VE /D "Adding My Cursors..." /f
REG ADD %KEY%026 /V 1 /D "RunDll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %CDROM%\$OEM$\Appz\MyBlueGlass\Install.inf" /f

modify the install.inf file with the cursor names u have.

Install.inf
