Hi. I need to hide an update which is the bing desktop, smile. Tom Kingston put it mildly. The update is indeed a headache for screen reader users. Here's why I feel the need to hide the update as opposed to physically damaging one of my computers in frustration, grin.
I use Outlook 2010 and like to keep the inbox open waiting for e-mail messages. From time to time, bing desktop would be triggered. A message is spoken which says static box with the bing desktop requesting a search term. I then have to alt-tab back to the inbox. I find this extremely annoying. Also after the computers boot up, the bing desktop would get in the way so I would have to alt-tab to focus the start menu and other items. Again, this is extremely annoying. I have uninstalled the update from my laptop. I had to have sighted assistance to remove the update from my new desktop because I couldn't get the update to uninstall. Tom Kingston mentioned hiding the update but didn't explain how to do it, grin. Ok, I don't hide updates all that much, in fact, not ever, grin. Thanks.
