- That little symbol or display is Easy Access - you might want to either
- turn it off with an extension/control panels manager or take it out of the
- System folder...and restart.
-
- BTW it (Easy Access) is turned on and off by hitting the shift key 5 times
- in succession.
-
- Hope your nephews >wink, wink, nudge< have a great time playing it!
