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

[Robert Beach]

I did this, but it only seems to change whether the two load after a person logs in, not at the login screen itself.  I'll give it another go though and see if I missed something.

Thanks.

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.
