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.

    This helped me too.  I found that all you have to do is hit the bumper button again to turn it off.

    No way to uncheck "Turn on Magnifier" because it is not an option.  This does not work.
