Turn OFF Narrator

[goombawaho]

Ok, I have done the following to turn off the talking ninny.

Go to Control Panel -> Ease of Access -> Ease of Access Center -> Explore all Settings -> Use the computer without a display. Uncheck the checkbox by Turn on Narrator and click Save.

BUT, when the computer starts and it's waiting for you to select the USER that you want to login as, it still talks to you as you're moving your mouse around. So, it's quiet once you get to your desktop, but still yaps BEFORE login.

It does NOT want to shut up and go away. Any way to remove it, kill it, stop it?? It's like the voices in my head.......... make them stop.

Goom, before you hit SAVE, use the APPLY button then hit SAVE...

That's supposed to make a difference??? Wow!?!?

This whole thing defies logic as far as I'm concerned.

Press Windows key + U to bring up the Utilities Manager.
Highlight a listed item and if you do not want it to run, press Stop.
Uncheck each of the "Start automatically..." boxes for that feature. Repeat
