This is a tricky one and well hidden - Go Control Panel / Ease of Access
Center - this will bring up a page with Explore all Settings half way down,
first select  'Use the Computer without a Display' and deselect the checkbox
to turn off Narrator.  Then go back to Explore all Settings and go to 'Make
the Computer easier to see' and do the same for the Magnifier.  

Hope that works!

Hi all,

I have a problem that I can’t seem to find the fix for.  We recently
upgraded to Windows 7 on all of our computers.  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.

I have not found a place to adjust the settings so that these two items do
not auto load at the login screen.  Can somebody please direct me?  I know
this should be easy to do, and I’m just missing it somewhere.

Thanks.
