Apply All Settings to Defaults for New Users

When this option is selected, the accessibility options currently selected are applied as the default for all new user accounts set up on the computer. In this way, all users will be able to use accessibility features to help them log on to the computer. You can only set this option if you are part of the Administrator's group or the Computer Administrator's group. This procedure tells you how to turn on this option through Accessibility Options in Control Panel.
