Zusammenfassung:A method and system for switching between windows running on a multiwindow computer system that retains the user's points of interest is disclosed. The method and system includes allowing a user to register at least one specific point of interest in each of the windows, and displaying a persistent mouse pointer on each of the registered points of interest in the inactive windows. In response to the user making one of the inactive windows active, an active mouse pointer is displayed at the location of the persistent mouse pointer in that window.
