Win 10/11 Mouse pointer get/set ( color too )

[argumentum]

I have no idea of how to get / set the mouse settings from Win11 via code. Help ? 
I am using size 3 and green pointer, just like in the pic.

#include <WinAPIRes.au3> ; _WinAPI_SetSystemCursor()
#include <WinAPISys.au3> ; _WinAPI_SystemParametersInfo()
#include <WinAPIsysinfoConstants.au3> ; for $SPI_SETCURSORS

;~ Local $hPrev = _WinAPI_CopyCursor(_WinAPI_LoadCursor(0, $OCR_NORMAL)) ; Is not going to be used because ...
_WinAPI_SetSystemCursor(_WinAPI_LoadCursorFromFile(StringLeft(@AutoItExe, _
        StringInStr(@AutoItExe, '\', 0, -1) -1) & '\Examples\Helpfile\Extras\Lens.cur'), $OCR_NORMAL)
Sleep(5000)
;~ _WinAPI_SetSystemCursor($hPrev, $OCR_NORMAL) ... we are gonna use SystemParametersInfo
_WinAPI_SystemParametersInfo($SPI_SETCURSORS, 0, 0, 0)

My drama was to restore the original back and the above does just that.
The get part is in the registry.
