IIRC, the Windows mouse cursor format is just the icon format, but don't quote me on that; I haven't touched those parts of Windows in years, so my knowledge there may be quite rusty.

It's funny that you should mention Windows icons and PNGs in the same post.

http://www.winterdrache.de/freeware/png2ico/ does a pretty decent job of creating Windows icons from PNGs.
