The "Ease of Access Center" is a built-in Microsoft Windows Vista feature that controls accessibility settings and programs. With "Ease of Access," it is easier to see, hear and use the computer. It is designed for people with visual difficulties, hearing loss, discomfort in their hands or arms or reasoning and cognitive issues. However, if you do not need this feature, you can turn it off from the log-on screen. Note that you will need administrative rights to disable "Ease of Access."
