Ok, let's just start by saying that I f****g hate the magnifier function.
I'm mostly on a Mac (as I develop application for IOS) and use remote desktop to access my PCs and servers.
And every bloody time I accidentally press the cmd-button instead of the alt button when making a backslash the magnifier pops up.
None of the advice above worked for me.
So in the end I took the rather drastic method of deleting the Magnify.exe.
I't located in two places (as I'm on a 64bit system).
c:\windows\system32\Magnify.exe
c:\windows\sysWOW64\Magnify.exe
You'll have to take ownership of the file and give your self permissions on it before deleting it.
(If you don't know how to do this, Google it)
And presto, no more magnifier.
