Windows 8 – How do I disable narrator forever?

I hate narrator. I realize it can be helpful for people that can’t see well but I don’t have that problem. I keep accidentally pressing whatever keys open it (I still haven’t found out what it is) and losing focus on whatever program I had open. Is it possible to remove narrator from my computer forever?

Solution:

I deleted my Narrator.exe

I found it in the WindowsSystem32 folder.  Before I deleted Narrator.exe I right-clicked the file, Properties.  Then I took ownership and changed the permissions giving me full control.

Having changed the access control, I deleted Narrator.exe.

I checked in Control Panel – Ease of access, when I clicked on Narrator nothing happened, just what I wanted.
