Utility Manager is
an accessibility utility that enables users to check the status
of accessibility programs (Microsoft Magnifier, Narrator,
On-Screen Keyboard) and to start or stop them. If you are logged
onto your computer with an owner account you can choose to start
an accessibility program when Utility Manager starts.
Narrator, a text-to-speech program, starts when
Utility Manager starts. You can also set Magnifier and On-Screen
Keyboard to start when utility manager starts. This procedure
tells you how to set Windows XP to start accessibility programs
when Utility Manager starts.
