There are step-by-step instructions posted for accomplishing this; I've seen articles in Windows Secrets newsletter which I religiously subscribe to; as well as a lot of other places one can find by searching Google.
The directions are simple enough that a person with a modicum of intelligence and the ability to follow step-by-step procedures can easily succeed. The folks at Microsoft had a reason for setting this up; I'm sure many people won't bother to make the corrections. But, those who are sensitive about privacy and such can make these changes easily.

I was curious to see what they may have in stock to compare to the Hp at staples. They have an older new laptop with windows 7 home. It is an Asus x550a I3, 4gb ram and a T-byte system for $250. Wonder if it will work ok with jaws. He highly recommended that I stay away from win 10. He has about 15 computers on the shelf to have win 10 removed and a few more coming into the shop. He also stated that there was something on the news that windows 10 tracks you. That was on the morning news. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
