Hi Brink,

but I did my customizations after I did this. Any way to restore it? A code or something??

Thomas,

Here's a copy of a default authui.dll file in a ZIP file below. If you like you can open it and your custom one side by side in Resource Hacker, then compare it with what was deleted in steps 5-8 in Option One of the tutorial to see if you may be able to manually add the deleted stuff to your custom one.

Be sure to create another backup of your custom one in case you make a mistake and need to restore it.

Yes! For those of you who do not wish to risk bricking their system, there is a utility that turns the Ease of Access button off so if someone clicks on it, it says "Ease of Access has been disabled by the Administrator." No hacking involved. Download, install, and run. Done. Click on this link:

I fail and got black screen many time..

but finally!It works!!!This tutorial is awesome,thx alot.

I find the reason that why I got the blank screen.

the reason is I delete this line "<if id = "atom(ToggleTabletKeyboard)">" and leave a black line.

So we need to delete is
<if id = "atom(Accessibility)">
<button
width = "38rp"
height = "28rp"
padding="rect(0,0,0,0)"
content = "resbmp(12213,2,-1,0,0,0,1)"
accname="resstr(12122)"
accdesc="resstr(12122)"
borderthickness = "rect(4rp, 2rp, 4rp, 2rp)"
background = "resbmp(12263,7,-1,0,0,1,1)"
bordercolor="gray"
borderstyle="raised"
/>
<if keyfocused = "true">
<button
borderthickness = "rect(4rp, 2rp, 4rp, 2rp)"
background = "resbmp(12259,7,-1,0,0,1,1)"
bordercolor="windowtext"
borderstyle="solid"
/>
</if>
<if mousefocused = "true">
<button
borderthickness = "rect(4rp, 2rp, 4rp, 2rp)"
background = "resbmp(12260,7,-1,0,0,1,1)"
bordercolor="windowtext"
borderstyle="solid"
/>
</if>
<if keyfocused = "true" mousefocused = "true" pressed = "false">
<button
borderthickness = "rect(4rp, 2rp, 4rp, 2rp)"
background = "resbmp(12261,7,-1,0,0,1,1)"
bordercolor="windowtext"
borderstyle="solid"
/>
</if>
<if pressed = "true">
<button
borderthickness = "rect(4rp, 2rp, 4rp, 2rp)"
background = "resbmp(12262,7,-1,0,0,1,1)"
bordercolor="windowtext"
borderstyle="sunken"
/>
</if>
</if>
Don't leave a black line & Don't delete this line <if id = "atom(ToggleTabletKeyboard)">

very helpful tutorial,thx a lot^^

Very helpful tutorial, followed it and it works like a charm.

except for one thing:
Pressing "Win+U" still opens ease of access.
I expected this tutorial to also take care of that. Any help on that one?

Thanks
