Disable Ease of Access on Server 2008 log on screen?

I haven't logged in to some of my servers for a couple of weeks.
Just today started having trouble logging in to a couple of my Server 2008 machines. When entering my password, when I hit the letter "u", the ease of access screen pops up.

This just started happening. I'm wondering 2 things:
1. Was there an update or something from MS that enabled this wonderful tool all of a sudden?

2. Is there a way to disable this on my servers, without installed a 3rd party tool?

I can get around this by changing my password, or putting caps lock on and using the shift key, but I would think that since this is a brand new symptom, I should be able to track it down and turn it off somehow.

Anyone have the solution?
Thanks
Tom

Thanks, but I need to do this WITHOUT downloading and installing a tool (as mentioned in the original question).

Thanks again, but, reading the solution, I come across the phrase:

Download and unzip the software,

And I have to stop there. I CAN'T download anything to these servers.

Please review the solution you're thinking of providing me? Thanks!
