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.
You can start or stop accessibility programs by
using Utility Manager, or you can set Windows to start or stop
them automatically. For more information, see the Step by Step
Tutorials: Start Accessibility Programs when Utility Manager
Starts, Start Accessibility Programs Automatically When
You Lock Your Computer Desktop, and Start Accessibility
Programs Automatically When You Log On to Your Computer.
This procedure tells you how to start or stop individual
accessibility programs while you're working with them, or check
the status of an accessibility program as you work.
