Is it possible to increase the width of the caret (cursor) i

I would like to widen the width of the cursor / caret throughout my
device. This is easily achieved in Windows XP/Vista. Is there any
way to programatically (or via registry) adjust the cursor width or
perhaps install a different cursor type on my device?

And what sort of device are you running on? There's not really any cursor
on Pocket PC, other than the wait cursor (no mouse!) Maybe I'm
misunderstanding what you're after. How would you accomplish this on the
desktop?

The op's referencing the insertion point cursor... a flashing vertical line.

afaik, there is no way to modify it, although setting a higher zoom
helps the situation in general.
