A colleague of mine enabled the Magnifier, and Narrator tool as a small practical joke. Now it's been six months, and every time I restart my computer, or log off and on again, the tools are reactivated.

There is a button for the ease of access tools on the log-on screen, where you can select checkboxes. I have unchecked them several times, chosen both "apply" and "OK", but for some reason, they always revert back to being checked, when I do my next login.

Why won't my disabling efforts work? How can I disable these annoying tools?

Some of what I've tried:

I've tried to disable their startup directly in the control panel, but there aren't any startup-options there, only options to run the different tools.

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/5623a9b3-493d-438f-a354-1ee2eca5dcae/how-to-disable-narrator suggests doing so in control panel, but the options it describes does not exist in my Windows instance.

How to remove or disable Ease of Access button on Windows 7 login screen describes how to disable the ease of access option panel, and not the individual tools.

In Windows 7, how do I disable "Ease of Access" pop ups on the logon screen as I am typing my password? is the same as above.

You must disable them from Ease of Access Center in Control Panel. Refer to the instructions from Microsoft.

Also, one of the links mentioned by you points to a tool in Softpedia. Did you try that?
