You can try renaming the zip file to .CURXPTheme and then you can click on it and install the cursor. If you can't see the .zip you need to show the extensions. Go to Control Panel->Folder Options-> View-> and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" and then you can rename your file.

Oh forgot, Cursors.


Depending on the cursor - some cursorXp Zips have more than one cursor zipped in the file - just open with winzip then click on each cursor in Zip one at a time - and they will self install. No need to extract them to the cursorXp themes. If you open the Zip and see a lots of files then follow webgizmos instructions.

Oh yeah...what Fairyy said!   

It would be nice if everyone kept to one way of packaging things...then it wouldn't be so confusing for some people.

Most of the newer stuff is packed this way - maybe he tried an older cursor - I remember always having a problem because you needed to save to desktop and "save target as" to force it to be a Zip. But that only was an option in IE. Firefox didnt have " save target as "

I think everything should be Zipped ( including lips at times )
