   I think you mean "Accessibility". I think most of it doesn't take much   
   space, but you could remove/not install it if you wish. I find Toggle   
   Keys, for example, useful (it alerts me whenever I hit caps lock by   
   mistake!), and I'm not disabled.

   Agreed. (Take a look at WSUSoffline.)
