    Rename

    It was driving me nuts as well, so I renamed C:\Windows\System32\Magnify.exe to Magnify2.exe...
    Hope this helps,
    Martin

    that was a great idea martin

    i tried to change the .exe file to magnifier 2, but got an error message saying that i have to get "permission" from my "trusted installer" ... don't know what this is in windows 7 ... if you can help me with that it would be great ... i installed windows 7 from a download ... i hope you or anyone will know the answer ... soooo irritating ... thanks!

    Try this:
    1. Take ownership of the file (permissions, advanced, owner tab)
    2. Assign yourself modify permission
    3. Rename the file

    Good luck!
