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.

    10,000 people (at MS) and you all do the same thing. Give pat answers out of some guide book written decades ago perhaps.

    This answer, which your people give to everyone (everywhere), doesn't work. So, why don't you actually research it afresh!  Thank God I'm able to move slowly over to Mac equipment.

    I don't have an Outlook that works (again, noone to fix or complete that Beta program - Bill is so proud of).  It's truly amazing!  Noone cares enough to actually troubleshoot something.
