How to disable Narrator?

[Nicholas Poh]

Hi,

I was playing around with Ease of Access Center on the logon screen and
enabled Narrator. Now, everytimes I log on into my account, Narrator will be
started. This only happen to my account only. All other accounts are not
afffected. I tried in vain to disable it but so far to no success.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

One way is to click the Start button and type msconfig and hit enter. go to
the startup tab and you should see an entry for narrator. uncheck the
checkbox and hit ok. restart and when you do, a notice will pop up saying
you are using a troubleshooting tool. click "dont show me this again" and it
wont pop up anymore. Narrator should no longer start when you log in.

That's the problem. It's not there. That's why I posted the question here.
No reference to Narrator at all.

Open Contral Panel/Ease of Access Center and select "Use the computer
without a display" remove the check mark from "Turn On Narrator."

I tried that. There is no check mark on "Turn On Narrator".

Anyway, I solved the problem by using the registry. I go to,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Accessibility

Clear the value for Configuration and I solved the problem.

Thanks for all the help guys.
