If you mean the mouse cursors then the default ones are as follows (does not include Windows Aero defaults):

  • Pointer - Standard cursor.
  • Reversed pointer - Alternate standard cursor.
  • Pointer with hourglass - Data is processing, but you can still click on things.
  • Hourglass - Data is processing and you should wait.
  • Pointer with question mark - help on pointed item.
  • Beam - Editable or readable text.
  • Horizontal arrows - Window can be horizontally re-sized.
  • Vertical arrows - Window can be vertically re-sized.
  • Diagonal arrows - Window width and height can be re-sized.
  • Vertical and horizontal arrows - Window can be moved.
  • Pointing hand - Link can be followed.
  • Plus symbol - Precision cursor.
  • Circle with horizontal stroke - No capable action.
  • Up arrow - Alternate link or pointer cursor.

The mouse pointer is used to navigate on a computer. It allows you to place the pointer over the place you want to be on the page and then to click the mouse in order to go to another page, type in something in the address bar, etc.

A mouse pointer (or cursor) is an icon used to manipulate a graphical interface. The location of the mouse pointer on the screen is changed by moving a computer mouse.
