Well, I'm going to plonk this thread, as I'm tired of reading it, but as a final parting shot, in my situation, it's more likely to cause problems than solve them. If someone wants to use my system, they'll more than likely want to turn the volume off, as they're not blind, and then I will likely have a hell of a time trying to figure out why the system's locked up and not working, not that anyone besides me who would use my computer understands the CLI. They're just brain dead Windows users and wouldn't know a typed command if it came up and bit them in da butt. Anyway, I certainly don't want my ability to freely use the system compromised. You don't put a security shutdown on the monitor for sighted users so they can't see what's going on, and that is what you're proposing for the blind. Michael
