Anyone know how to uninstall "VoiceOver" ?
Running Tiger (grumble, grumble) on a dual G5...

I've deleted the App, all the preferences, everything I can find using Spotlight, all the Universal Access stuff I can find, and STILL freakin' VoiceOver launches whenever I hit CMD-F5... I have ZERO interest in using VoiceOver, and want my CMD-F5 back.

Can I also just say that Spotlight sucks, too? I hate that it doesn't wait until you're done typing to start searching... and just today I finally found a utility that would once and for all STOP Spotlight from trying to index my back-up volume.

I've been very disappointed in Tiger... for everything they added, they broke something else.

in the system preferences? (universal access) then go to keyboard & mouse prefs and uncheck the voiceover shortcut?

I didn't even THINK of checking the keyboard prefs panel... just now I turned Universal Access off entirely!

Many thanks!!

3. I figured there had to be a way to do it
Not brilliance, just too much time with my computer and not enough time outside.
