What is CUR?

CUR (Windows Cursor) is the file format for static Windows mouse cursors. CUR files share the same binary structure as ICO files but include additional hotspot data indicating the active click point of the cursor. CUR files contain one or more cursor images at different sizes and color depths. Custom Windows cursor themes use CUR files for standard cursors and ANI files for animated cursors.
