Default How do I completely remove Narrator feature off of Windows XP Pro.SP2?

Hello,

Due to a crappy office keyboard, its keys like to get stuck and runs
Narrator. Since I don't use this Narrator feature, I would like to
uninstall it. I checked Add/Remove Windows Components, but couldn't find
it. How can I get rid of it? It is already disabled, but it keeps coming
up once in a while because of my stuck keys.

Thank you in advance.

Your only solution is to spring for a new $10 keyboard.

Heh, maybe but I doubt it. I tried another USB keyboard, and same
problems.

1. Don't see anything aboutt Narrator in Shared Features in Office 2003
Pro.'s advanced customization list.
2. Don't see "Text Services" in XP's control panel.
3. Do not have ctfmon.exe in showing in XP's Task Manager.
4. Have not tried renaming narrator.exe, but it seems like it won't work
according to a reply.
