ok- I have gone thru tens of thousands of posts and the ever geeked out
version of windows support and found nothing that will help so Im posting...

How do you delete the accessibility options from the computer? I dont just
want it disabled. I want it gone. What are the reg keys to delete sop that
it never rears its ugly head from me resting my finger on the shift key too
long?

The worst part of it is that after it pops up and I say not to change
anything, there are screw ups like the cap lock is reversed, the icons on my
desktop are ALL selected and more. So you can see why I want it gone gone
gone.

From my notes, haven't done this myself so it's entirely up to you.

This tweak allows you to display these items and therefore have the option to
uninstall.

Open the SYSOC.INF file in the Windows\INF sub-directory (e.g. C:\Windows\INF).
Under the [Components] heading are the system components installed on the
computer. The items that have the word "HIDE" or "hide" in them are not
displayed on the Add/Remove Programs list.

Example:-
To change an item so it is shown remove the "hide" text, leaving the surrounding
commas. For example you would change the WordPad entry from:
MSWordPad=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wordpad.inf,HIDE,7
To:
MSWordPad=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wordpad.inf,,7

Save the file and reopen the Add/Remove Windows Components listing for the
change to take effect.



The main hidden Windows components in Windows XP are:

Accessibility Wizard
AccessOpt=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,optional.inf,HIDE,7

Automatic Windows Update
AutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,au.inf,hide,7

COM+
com=comsetup.dll,OcEntry,comnt5.inf,hide,7

Communications components (including Chat, Hyperterminal, and Phone Dialer)
CommApps=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,communic.inf,HIDE,7

Multimedia components (including Media Player, Volume Control, and Sound
Recorder)
MultiM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,multimed.inf,HIDE,7

Pinball game
Pinball=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,pinball.inf,HIDE,7

Tablet PC

This seems alot of hassle for what I hear is a comon complaint to be fair...
does Micro$oft think that all its "customers" are in some way mentally or
physically deficient...

They have it turned on as default (which itself is a pain), to then not even
supply the standardised (albeit inadequate) add/remove feature for it, seems
both rude and insulting...
