Is there any to completely remove all the Accessibility features from Windows XP?

I'm sure they are great for those who need them, I just get really tired of - if I leave my finger on the shift key too long I get an accessibility dialog and so forth. I have gone in and turned all the stuff off many times, but it keeps coming back like it's got a mind of it's own.

Today I did something magical and now when I hit the Windows Key and u - u to get the shutdown dialog, I get some voice navigation thingy - grrrr....

I would just like to permanently remove all this stuff.

TIA

To disable Sticky Keys, first activate it by pressing the shift key five times. Then go to "Settings" and uncheck the box that says "use shortcut".

As far as Windows+U goes, you've probably got to learn to stop stumbling over the keyboard.

Hmmm...

I've got a dual Mac G5 on order and a KVM switch. I think I'll give the KVM switch away and just run Virtual PC when I absolutely have to use a Windows program. My aging dual PIII 999mhz will make a dandy door stop. I was going to upgrade it to dual P4's but nah why bother.
