I have accessibility in IE set to use system colors, but at least I can turn them off when webpages are missing buttons or icons or other text and see what's missing. I remember going to a Microsoft 'help' website about accessibility and I couldn't even leave a comment without turning off system colors because buttons were missing.

Thanks for suggestions though.
In Win 8.x in the Ease of Access Centre under "Make the computer easier to see" there is the check box option to enable keystrokes (Left ALT + left SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN) for turning High Contrast on and off during a session.

As said already, I have no recollection whether the same option exists in Win 7, or whether its function is the same, without setting up a machine to play with.
