Page 1: Automatic Timeouts

You can set the computer to automatically turn off the accessibility options after a set amount of 'idle' time, i.e. if you stop using the computer for five minutes the computer will revert to its original state. This is useful if more than one user uses a machine but you don't want to have to log on and off. Click here for more information on setting up a computer for more than one user.

Page 2: Setting as Default

Windows will set the accessibility options to your computer whatever you choose. However, if you log on and off more than one user on your computer, you can set this to 'yes' so that all new users will automatically have these access options set for them. This is useful if there are various users on a computer with similar needs. The access options for each user can then be fine-tuned.

Page 3: Save your settings to a file

After you have finished setting up the computer, there's a good chance that you'll need the same settings on other PCs. You can save your settings as an .acw file which you can save to a floppy and transfer to other machines.
