cursor file problem

I have just reinstalled windows vista ultimate and I am having a small but
irritating problem.
The problem I am having is that all my cursor files do not show the
contents, all it shows is a generic icon of the program that opens my cursor
files, which is Microangelo Toolset 6.1.
Is there a reg fix so that the cursor file will show the proper contents
rather than a generic icon view of the program that opens it.

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Open Microangelo and check in the preferences or options to see if you can
remove the association for cursor files. (.cur) If this does not fix the
problem, perform the following.

Copy the text betwen the 2 dashed lines (don't copy the lines) and paste
into Notepad. Save the file as cur.reg to the desktop and close Notepad.
Double click the file to merge into the registry. This will set the icon
association back to the default.

-----------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\curfile]
@="Cursor"
"FriendlyTypeName"=hex(2):40,00,25,00,53,00,79,00, 73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,\
00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00 ,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,\
32,00,5c,00,73,00,68,00,65,00,6c,00,6c,00,33,00,32 ,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,\
00,2c,00,2d,00,38,00,34,00,36,00,35,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\curfile\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"

Thanks for that Ronnie.

I have got the cursor to look right, all I have to do now is to try and work
out how I can add a right click edit option?

Thanks again.

Glad this helped.

For the right click context menu problem, you might want to search on the
following website for this information. Ramesh has quiet a few articles
there.
