How does one change the hotspot on the cursor. I really want to make it the middle of my funny little scope reticle that I have as the cursor. Any Ideas I would appreciate.

Please let me know where in Windows 7 I need to go to adjust the CPU fan speed? The NZXT Sentry 2 touch screen fan control adjusts the other fans but doesn't work on the CPU fan. My wife has to wear ear muffs to work on this computer because of the sound from this fan and that's mighty...
