A quickie regarding Vista

My friend has Vista on her laptop (I only run XP, so can't help her).

When she starts up the laptop, a voice comes on and starts what sounds like an intro to Vista, can someone please tell me how to switch this voice thing off, we had a look in control panel and then start up menus, but I don't know which box to untick, does anyone know what the thing I am talking about is called.


Many thanks for your help.

    I don't use Vista either but easily found this: Narrator is found under Start > Programmes > Accessories > Accessibility > Narrator. It can be controlled via the dialogue box.
