[Athen] auto load of Narrator and Magnifier on Windows 7

[Doug Hayman]

If you do a windows key+U it'll give you a dialogue box with Start 
Narrator as a link in the upper section of the window that pops up.  Once 
that is selected it has a link that says

control whether narrator starts when I log on

...which then brings up another pop up if selected where you could 
de-select the option at the top:

Turn on Narrator

Similarly after Windows+U and picking Start Magnifier it too has a link 
that says,

Control whether magnifier starts when I log on

Lots of good detailed info at

At some point, Narrator was loaded at the login screen to assist with the login process.  That was fine, however now both Narrator and Magnifier both always load at the login screen.  This makes the login screen hard for some to see because it is so large.  Also, having Narrator talking really confuses some students.
