Cursor XP clearing windows settings?
Wednesday, March 19, 2003 by Ingui | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Happens about 1/2 the time I use CursorXP Configuration to either change cursors or create a new set. Afterwards strange things occur, such as Outlook opening to the Setup Wizard, WinZip asking for preferences, Paintshop custom toolbars back to defaults, opening directories in apps all start at defaults ( C:\ or that apps Dir ) , programs opening to the Registration screen. If I stop what im doing and reboot , everything is back as it should be. Anyone else experience this or have a clue as to why? Started right after I upgraded to CursorXPPlus 1.3. Kinda irritating 
Maybe when CursorXP loads the .ini file for a cursor? Any help is appreciated, thanx.

Yea it is terrible but thanx werewolf 
And thanx Gupps, But I just did a complete scan of my system 2 days (All file types, all directories) I also keep my AV running at all time, it scans email, webpages and every file i open B4hand, and it DL's new defs almost every day. Not sayin its fool proof, but Im comin up clean. Thanx again tho Gupps for tryin. Im pretty sure I narrowed it down to CursorXP. Anyone else got a tip? Im gonna try the Newsgroup. CYA
