摘要：
A system, method, and program of the invention reduces the chance of a user accidentally making a menu selection error, without causing the user extra effort in responding to a confirmation dialog. A menu layout is displayed in which a problem menu choice has a barrier around at least a part of its boundary. In one preferred embodiment, the barrier stops a pointer from entering the problem menu choice. A user must control the pointer through an opening in the barrier in order to move the pointer onto the problem menu choice. In another embodiment, the barrier does not impede the movement of a pointer crossing its boundary. Instead, as a pointer is moved across the boundary onto a problem menu choice, the problem menu choice becomes non-selectable. The problem menu choice becomes selectable again if the pointer is moved out of the problem menu choice and then back onto the problem menu choice through an opening in the boundary.
