Ease of Access
Encyclopedia
Ease of Access is a control panel that is included in Windows 7, Windows Vista
, and Windows Server 2008. It allows for a simpler method for Windows to adapt to computer users with accessibility needs or who want additional features. Ease of Access makes full use of the new Windows Aero interface, using interactive hyperlinks and the Control Panel explorer to navigate throughout the interface and apply settings.
Unlike the older generation of Windows, to access the Accessibility control panel from the Run box, "control.exe /name Microsoft.EaseofAccessCenter" now has to be typed alternatively, instead of the traditional "access.cpl". Typing "access.cpl" results in an error in most versions.
