Keep mousepointer the same regardless of hover

Is there a VBA method to limit the mouse icon to stay as the pointer arrow regardless of whether its hovering over something such as a button, shape, or even if I have clicked onto a shape textbox.

Yea I have read this before and have set the cursor property but depending on the object it is hovering over it can still switch. I figured there might be a way to stop it from switching and keep it the same.

Where are you hovering?
Are you hovering over a worksheet or a user form?
Also have you looked at the .MouseIcon property of ActiveX controls?

Basically my worksheet only contains shapes with assigned macros to act as buttons, labels, and textboxes and everything has been protected with userinterfaceonly:=true and in the start of the workbook I set the cursor property to xlNorthwestArrow. When I click on the textbox to type and then go to hover over shapes and stuff the mouse begins to flicker between the hand symbol, cross symbol, and the northwestarrow symbol. Say I were to click off the textbox onto the locked excel field area then the northwest arrow stays constant and does not change on hover.
