app to make mouse cursor jump to default button in dialog boxes?

Anyone know of one?I did a bit of searching but couldn't find anything.

It seems this kind of thing is usually done at the mouse driver level, but
my mother is using a duopen graphics tablet, which has a quite extensive
driver/configuration utility, but lacks this feature.

So I was hoping for some kind of app that can grab the mouse pointer when a
dialog appears and move it to the default buttons, independently of the
mouse driver. Because I notice when she is trying to paint a picture in a
complex app like paintshop pro, which throws up option dialogs all the time,
she seems to spend more time moving the pen to the "ok" button of dialogs
than actually drawing :)

TIA for any suggestions

I'm using a Logitech mouse with XP. In the Control Panel \ Mouse \
Motion tab there is a Smart Move option which enables this. Very
handy. If not possible with your mother's setup, perhaps you could
identify her operating system (Win98 or whatever).

Kelly's Korner has an XP tweak which will enable the "snap to"
function. http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm. Be sure to
back up the registry before applying anything.

Good luck!

Sorry, should have mentioned, she is using Windows 98. It's a pretty low
spec machine, I don't think I can install XP on it :(
