I am looking for a way to change my pointer the other direction as I am left handed.

Hi sandicho,

Do you have a Logitech Mouse by any chance? If so, try this:

Control Panel / Mouse / Pointers / 
Select "Lefty by Logitech" in the drop-down menu.
Select "Normal Select"

Otherwise, here is a free set of cursors which includes a right facing arrow:

Lefty Mouse Cursors:
"This is a left-handed cursor set."

To install your new cursors to Windows, follow these directions:

Through your Windows Control Panel:
1. In the Explorer, extract the [zipped] files and copy them into your
Windows cursor folder which is usually: C:\Windows\Cursors
2. Open the Control Panel and double-click on the Mouse icon.
3. Select the tab labled Pointers.
4. Click the pointer you would like to change then select Browse.
5. Find the replacement cursor in the list and select it.
6. Click on Open and then click on Apply.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 for each cursor that you want to replace.

"Lefty Blue is Benny Blue's big brother. Just like his little brother,
he's very cute, very helpful, and of course, very blue. But unlike
Benny, Lefty does everything with his left hand, making him ideal for
all those lefties out there that use the mouse with THEIR left hand."

We were happy to find these for you. My lefty son tested them out and
he said they work fine. If you have any questions, please post a
clarification request *before* closing/rating my answer and I'll be
happy to reply.

Thank you,
