Cursor over links in web pages

I am preparing an HTML presentation. It is basically just a bunch of small
sequentially numbered html documents which pull in jpg's, sorta like this,
with irrelevant details left out. This document would be called 5.html,
for example, and it displays image5.jpg.

<body>
<p>
<a href="6.html"><img src="image5.jpg"></a>
</body>

Each image displayed by the browser is the link to the next html document
and thus the next image in the sequence.

The problem is the cursor, when over a link,  becomes that whimpy looking
small hand with the pointed finger, not really very impressive. Since the
presenter might like to use the mouse to point out items of interest in
the image, a bigger pointer, like a big arrow, would be much more useful.

I do not know where this is fixed: the GUI,  the browser (I am using opera, but
may have to use IE if the computer has windows installed), or in the html.

Any insight appreciated,

Thanks,
Joel
