title: Python: Change windows control panel settings
body: <p>Is it possible to change the mouse pointer icon or do other changes in the control panel with a short python script?</p>
  
  <p>Pseudocode of what I want to achieve:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import os
  default_cursor=os.get_system_mouse_cursor
  os.set_mouse_cursor('CURSOR_CROSSHAIR')
  ....
  My game
  ....
  os.set_mouse_cursor(default_cursor)
  terminate program
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just imported os for the sake of the example!</p>
