I have created a new personal preferences profile in Windows 7 which cycles my background pictures from a custom folder location and changed my mouse cursor. When I save this profile and activate it, everything runs as it should. My problem is when I restart my computer, my mouse cursor is back to the default but my custom background setting is still active. I have to reopen my preferences and click on my profile to activate it. Why doesn't my OS load my cursor automatically ?
Things to note:
- I am using a logitech G500.
- OS: Windows 7 (happened within multiple OS builds)
- I have tried:
- Deleting & reinstalling mouse driver
- Creating new profiles
- multiple mouses
- different cursors
- removed logitech services from the start up
How can I resolve this issue?

I found that custom profiles are set as 'Themes' and the referenced cursors only happen at save or reload.
To fix this: make a copy of the referenced cursors and paste them into the C:\Windows\Cursor folder to be called upon start up. Then re-find the cursors stored in that windows cursor location (default location themes look at - regardless if you change them manually)
