All my accessibility options are turned off, when booting in safe mode the
message box does not appear when pressing lock keys.
If i wish to identify what is causing this message to appear, use msconfig
right?
To select what is loaded during boot up, uncheck all items in startup and
services list, then systematically select them?
Cheers
