Hi everybody,

I know how to turn the Vista Magnifier On or Off, using the Control Panel.

However, assuming the Magnifier is preset to turn on at startup, how can I
turn it temporarily on or off in an easy way, by means of a "bistable"
command for instance ?

Anyone ?

Thanks in adavance for your kind help.
With best regards,

Daniel

I suppose the easiest way would be to create a shortcut to Magnifier
and put it on your Quicklaunch toolbar.
Right-click on your Desktop and select new shortcut.
Copy this in :
C:\Windows\System32\Magnify.exe
Click Next, Click Finish.

Select new shortcut and drag it onto your Quicklauch toolbar.

Thank you for your kind help, Dave-UK.
That's a good idea. Much better than going into the control panel.
I'll do that.
With best regards,
Daniel
