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.

    That one has been mentioned before. It does work in some cases, but not all. For instance in my case and others, there is no checkbox for "turn on magnifier". You pretty much have to read through all the posts from the beginning and try every solution until you find the one that works on your particular system.

    That page doesn't have any information on how to disable the magnifier, only how to turn it on or off, which was not the question asked.
