Thanks to all who replied to this one. It does seem that the directions given in the help files found by George are just a convaluted way of getting to run, which I have always done with Windows + r.

Indeed, Windows-U will launch the utility manager and also launch Narrator (by default), however you do not change those settings in accessibility options; they're changed through utility manager itself.
