RE: Looking for a static icon (Summary of responses)

[Tammy VanBoening <Tammy -dot- VanBoening -at- netRegulus -dot- com>]

As per the request of a fellow list member - 

In addition to the generously emailed .gifs and jpegs of the actual icon, I
received this information - 

*******************************************************************

It is in the Wingdings2 fonts in Word 2000.

************************************************

If you're using a PC, go to Start> Settings> Control Panel> Mouse, then go 
to the Pointers tab

In my version of Windows 2000, the last item in the list is the hand 
pointer for a link.  You can take a screen shot of this, or go to the 
source (on my computer, c:\winnt\cursors), or do a search for *.cur files.

****************************************************************************
***

Assuming you're using a PC, you should have a directory that includes the
cursors your mouse uses. Try something like C:/Windows/Cursors (I use XP -
that's where my directory is located). You could use one of the hand/pointed
finger icons by copying it to another location, etc.

****************************************************************************

If you're on Windows (you didn't say...), all of the mouse pointers
available for your system are accessible from the Control Panel/Mouse
utility. Choose the "Pointers" tab, browse until you find the specific
version of the "finger" pointer <g> you want to show, and take a screenshot
that you can then crop in the bitmap editor of your choice.

****************************************************************************
*********

Open the Mouse control in Control Panel. If not already selected, select
the Windows scheme, and the hand is at the bottom.

Then, using FullShot or some other similar program, you can 'grab'

****************************************************************************
***********

Use a graphics program to screen capture it - you may need to preconfigure
the capture function to "include cursor." Paint Shop Pro can do this.

A quick Google search
(http://images.google.ca/images?q=internet+explorer+hand+cursor&btnG=Goo
gle+Search&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off) produced this:

I used Google's image search.
Tried
    cursor link
nothing in first few pages.
Tried
    cursor hand
nothing in first few pages.
Tried
    cursor hand link
and found this on first page.  At least one other there, too.

I would recommend that you lay your hands on "The Ikon Book" by William
Horton. It was published in 1994, but it is still "the" source. You can
see details on it at: http://www.horton.com/index.htm It is available at
Amazon.com.
