Unfortunately this is not going to work for WM 5.
This cursor is a recourse in shellres.dll (if I am not mistaking). VJ once posted a site here that offered tons of replacements (even a hamster), but the problem is - since this is a system file in WM 5 it needs to be signed.

So you would have to edit security settings on your device, install a certificate and sign the file with this certificate.

You can find the info on how to do this if you search but it is a bit tricky.
Good luck.

xQlusive - if you post is a question, please try to put a question mark in the title, not a !. Otherwise it looks like you know how to change the circle and want to tell everyone, which is clearly incorrect.

WM6 has a different wait cursor, the Vista style round circles IIRC.

It can be changed, but of the three ways I can think of, none are particularly easy due to the increased security in WM5 and 6. If you're a newbie, it might not be worth the effort.
