Can you make an icon that is the cursor in a vb program so instead of having the normal arrow you have an icon?

Yes, assign your icon file to the control's MouseIcon property and set the MousePointer property to '99-Custom.' However I'd suggest you use a cursor file instead, the 'hot-spot' of the cursor will be more useful to the user.

There is a problem with cursors... they are only black and white...
However... the hotspot on an icon is always at 0,0 so you
could try to draw your cursor by that info

Is it possible to get colored cursors?
