The latest version of this topic can be found at Setting a Cursor's Hot Spot (Image Editor for Icons).

The hot spot of a cursor is the point to which Windows refers in tracking the cursor's position. By default, the hot spot is set to the upper-left corner of the cursor (coordinates 0,0). The Hotspot property in the Properties window shows the hot spot coordinates.

To set a cursor's hot spot

1. On the Image Editor toolbar, click the Set Hotspot tool.

2. Click the pixel you want to designate as the cursor's hot spot.

   The Hotspot property in the Properties window displays the new coordinates.
