Hello Thomas,

If the authui - backup.dll backup of the authui.dll in step 15 of OPTION ONE was done after the customizations, then you could just need to rename it like in that step to restore it. :)

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.

Good idea, but 20 steps may cause some noob to brick their system. Is it possible to make a .bat file or reg hack to do this? Just curious. :)

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:

It worked for me. Painless. Worry-free.

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, 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

Can't you just change the dimensions of the button to 0x0 pixels?

You can do everything listed on the very first post but here is an easier method instead of deleting stuff from that file.
Follow the guide above till you get to step 4 what i'm posting will replace steps 5 thru 8.

1. In your hack editor of choice (I'm using resource hacker) click on edit then find in the find box type this in atom(Accessibility) and click find.

2. On the same line where you found atom(Accessibility) you should see in part of that line tooltip="true".
Change true to false.

3. On the same line you will see layoutpos="left" change left to none.

4. Do the same thing for the other 2 locations UIFile 12401 1033 and UIFile 12402 1033.

Compile the script and then follow step 9 and onward in the above guide.
