Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classic View > Mouse > Pointers > Use the
one you want or select Windows Default to put it back the way it was.

However, did this someone install Comet Curser? If so then it might go away
with the add/remove programs or you might need to clean it out with an
anti-spyware application while booted into safe mode without networking and
with system restore disabled.

Hi Bill,

It depends. My teens here have a few that are .exe's and can be found via
Add/Remove.
