The cursor that uses the game it's located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Games\The Operational Art of War IV\graphics, so it could be changed as any of the other images in the game. Dunno if there's a "cursor mod" for TOAW III, gonna search for it.

All the cursors are stored here. I believe that it is cursor1.cur that you should rename, move somewhere else or replace with one from the internet. Please let me know if you have any issues.

The offending files are the three that are highlighted below. Delete or backup these originals first. Open the 'Obsolete' folder at the top of the list, find the three files with the same names, and move them to this list/folder.

yes always better to make a backup so if you do remove the wrong one, it doesn't cause an issue in the game, as it may or could do so advice is, if your not sure leave as default

Well then, can you tell me what you did so that I also have no issues [&o]

Edit: NEVERMIND, I fingered it out! I amended my post above to reflect the correct procedure, in case anyone is like me.
