How do I disable Windows 7 Magnifier all together? It have the check box unchecked for starting at startup but my mouse button still starts it. I use to use that button for something else and Windows will not let me map it to the other application.

Any help would be appreciated.

    @brad.ko - I have just do a lot of research on how to disable the magnifier in my Windows 7 Ultimate and your instruction is the best one which really works. I can say that it would also work on those different version of Windows 7 either if its Starter or Premium. Thanks a lot sir :)
