Hi Ray,

Yes, Glass gets disabled, but I think Graham was talking about the menus,
folder structures, and such.

All the best

Don't screen readers disable such features as glass, or whatever its called
in Vista?  I've heard it said that, ironically enough, the switching off of
such features has meant fewer problems with Vista as used by screen reader
users.  Don't know if that's tru.

Hi Graham,

I think it is the same, setting everything to classic.  But I think it is a
retrograde step, especially as Vista has some nice features which you will
lose, like the searchable run menu.  For example, you can hit Start button,
Run, then type wor, and you will be on the Word icon.  I love that feature.

All the best

Steve
