What is CUR file extension:

The CUR file extension is used for one one format of cursors used in Windows. A *.cur file contains cursors (the mouse pointer design) in Microsoft Windows 3.x and later versions of Windows.

In Windows 95, NT and later, this format has been largely superseded by the ANI format which allows animated and color cursor designs. The CUR format also allows transparency so that cursors do not have to appear rectangular when displayed on screen. The *.cur files are not compressed.
