Why doesn’t this work with Internet Explorer?

The idea of this plugin is to make a user friendly, easy way for you to be able to upload custom cursor image via the WordPress admin and easily add it to your site. IE requires you to use .cur image files for cursor icons. These files cannot be uploaded via the built-in WordPress media uploader.
