Copy the folders into /usr/share/icons/
Change cursors by right-click on Panel > Settings > Themes > Other Settings > Mouse Pointer

With fluxbox or similar, you might also need to do:
~/.Xdefaults: Xcursor.size: 40
~/.Xresources: Xcursor.size: 40
~/.xsettingsd: Gtk/CursorThemeSize 40

Yes, you do have to have administrative permissions to copy something into a folder owned by root
If the folder is on your desktop, open a terminal and enter this command -
sudo cp /home/yourusername/Desktop/nameoffolder /usr/share/icons/

My mistake.
The cp command copies files. If you want to copy directories, you have to give it cp -r

sudo cp -r /home/giorgio/Scrivania/aero-extra-large /usr/share/icons/
