A method and system for assisting physically challenged users in positioning cursor objects at desired icons displayed within a graphic interface of a computer system. Icons are displayed within the graphic interface, such that an icon, when graphically selected by a user, facilitates a particular application function. Icon domains are established about each icon, wherein each icon domain is larger than the icon itself. The cursor object may thereafter be automatically positioned at the center of a particular icon, in response to moving the cursor object into an icon domain associated with that particular icon, thereby assisting physically challenged users in efficiently positioning the cursor object at the icon in order to graphically select a particular function associated with the icon. According to this method and system, the icons are thereby graphically magnetized, such that a cursor object is immediately snapped toward a desired icon when entering a graphically magnetized domain surrounding the desired icon, eliminating the need for positioning the cursor object precisely on the icon or other graphical object to be selected.
