Wife F'd her PC up with cursor mania. Now she wants to change Santa back to XP default. Tried usual way through Control Panel, Mouse etc, but still stuck with Santa, even after restart. She got the Santa cursor through Cursor Mania, which was FILLED with attached spyware, so she doesnt want to go back there.

You first need to remove Cursor Mania and run your spyware software of choice.

Second, reboot your computer, run the registry editor and delete the keys {00A6FAF6-072E-44cf-8957-5838F569A31D}, {00A6FAF1-072E-44cf-8957-5838F569A31D}, {07B18EA1-A523-4961-B6BB-170DE4475CCA} from HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Third, open My Computer, Drive C, and Program Files folder, delete FunWebProducts and MyWebSearch folders. Cursor Mania should now be completely uninstalled from your computer.
