Description
Currently, NVDA uses ESpeak on the Windows logon screen. I'm not sure if this could be done, but it would be good if the users default synth could be used (SAPI 4, etc).

Would it not be possible to allow the user to define spasific options for speech settings, etc that could be used on this screen?

You can actually change the settings on a secure desktop and save them from there as you would for a normal user.

Oh, that's good to know.
Just out of interest, when these new settings are applied, where will they be saved?
Cheers.

It is saved in the system profile which is used for stuff that runs as the system user.

Hi,
Ok, this makes sence.

NVDA is developed by 
The secure desktops are not tied to a specific user, so there is no "user" to use as context. To put it another way, you can't use the user's default synthesiser because there is no user to speak of here.
