I tried with this, which is pretty close, if not identical:
In GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2012-04-23 on MARVIN

Are you sure you don't mean the mouse pointer? The cursor (aka text cursor) is
what indicates point, which is where text gets inserted.
I see the mouse pointer as an I-beam or an arrow, depending on what the mouse is
over. But I see the cursor as a box (by default).

See above. My crystal ball is trying to tell me that you are looking at the
mouse pointer but setting the text cursor type.
You change the mouse pointer shape using variable (not an option)
`x-pointer-shape'. But I don't think it is possible to change the pointer shape
on MS Windows. See (elisp) `Pointer Shape'.
