That's true, but the paradigm
  SetCursor(LoadCursorA(...));

happens in a lot of places...   What I'm suggesting is replacing them with
something like:
  HCURSOR cursor = LoadCursorA(...);
  if (cursor) {
    SetCursor(cursor);
  } else {
    SetDefaultCursor();
  }

As I said, if you don't think this will ever happen in 'real life', I'm happy to
leave my hack in place locally until I get the cursor thing sorted out
correctly...

But if there are any legitimate cases where LoadCursorA might fail, this would
probably give a better result...

I don't think there are places where LoadCursor can legitimately
fail. Besides, since your SetDefaultCursor is not an exported API it
could only be used inside user32.dll, where LoadCursor will definitely
never fail (modulo bugs of course).
