Hi, I'd strongly urge caution in doing this on your own without sighted help. If yu change the start up list at all, you'll get the window prompt about selective mode as mentioned, but you won't have speech, you'll have a hanging window and you won't know whether to hit tab or enter.... I learned a hard lesson before. Only uncheck items you're totally sure you know what they are.
