 I created a new program: DesktopZoom
 There are many zoom/magnify/loop programs to magnify the screen.
Windows XP has it's own magnifier.
But none of these programs could do all the things I wanted :
- Zoom the entire desktop and still be able to use the mouse
- Make the original screen show through (transparency)
- Zoom with the magnification that I want
- Save settings for the next time the program is started

Note: My program works only on "Windows XP" and "Windows 2000", because it depends heavily on "transparency", a feature that Microsoft has only supported since "Windows 2000".
