I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:

Change Out Your Pointer Scheme

Tired of seeing your pointer as an arrow or an hourglass all the time? Windows XP offers a number of alternative pointer schemes, such as Dinosaur, Ocean and Sports:

  • Open the Control Panel, double-click Mouse, and select the Pointers tab. (If you start in Category view, select Appearance and Themes, then click Mouse Pointers under "See Also").
  • Next to Schemes, click the down arrow and select a scheme to preview its pointers.
  • Click OK to apply the scheme to your desktop.
