Animouse v4.0 = ANIMOUSE.ZIP by Troy Beckstrom This is one of the most unusual and fun applications for Window’s we’ve seen in some time. Animouse allows you to replace the normal Windows cursors (the arrows, hourglass, and I-bar cursors) with snazzy, amusing, animated cursors. For example, you can replace the hourglass with a ticking grandfather clock, a bomb with a burning fuse (which explodes when the fuse burns down), or a planet with two circling moons (our favorite). Replace the arrow cursor with a shimmering radioactive arrow. The resizing arrows can be pulsing, rotating, or flowing. And, there are dozens more! All shapes, sizes, and types. (Our vote for the most entertaining - a Macintosh which, every time you click a mouse button, gets crushed by a booted foot!)
