It is one of my most cherished IT possessions, the red cursor from the old Redneck Rampage computer game. I’ve been putting that same cursor in PCs for close to 20- years. It’s less than 1 kb in size.

Download it and copy it into the folder C:\Windows\Cursors

If you don’t find the ‘Cursors” folder there, search to find it.

Once you’ve moved the .cur file to the Cursors folder, while holding down the WinKey (the one with the MS flag), hit the letter R. That will open a ‘Run’ window. Cut and paste the following line into that ‘Run’ window, then hit ‘Open’:

control /name Microsoft.Mouse

That will open the Mouse Properties applet. In that applet, click on the ‘Pointers’ tab.

In the ‘Customize:’ window, highlight the ‘Normal Select’ entry. Then click ‘Browse’.

Drill down to wherever you left the Redneck Rampage cursor. In all likelihood it will be C:\Windows\Cursors. Highlight the RR.pointer.cur file, then click ‘Open’.

That brings you back to the ‘Cursors’ tab in the Mouse Applet. Click ‘Okay’ and you’re done.
