Claim:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions for performing a method of running a software program on a computer, the computer operating under an operating system, the method including issuing instructions from the software program comprising: magnifying a portion of a graphic user interface on a monitor to establish a magnified view, the magnified view defining a rectangle having an upper boundary, a lower boundary, a left boundary and a right boundary; responsive to an end-user selectable setting, restricting pointer indicia movement to an area defined by the upper boundary, the lower boundary, the left boundary and the right boundary; responsive to the end-user input, moving the pointer indicium about the magnified view, wherein the magnified view remains static irrespective of the pointer indicium movement; saving an end-user selected view associated with a preselected application in focus; monitoring the state of the graphic user interface for the reappearance of the preselected application; and automatically invoking the magnified view and restricting pointer indicia movement responsive to the preselected application coming into focus.
