This
might seem like a silly tip or even a silly function, but
I've already found a use for it once and I'm sure that you'll
be able to use it at some point. Windows XP comes
with a built in on screen keyboard. Basically a graphic
of a keyboard comes up and acts like your keyboard, you
can use your mouse to hunt and peck around. What uses
does this have and what did I use it for? Well, it's
good for people with disabilities, where it would be easier
to use a mouse than trying to type or it's great to use
when your keyboard goes loco on you. Yes, we've all
had our keyboard go nuts. Here is how you launch it:
- Go
to start
- Go
to run and type OSK
- Then
the keyboard comes on
It's just that simple. It's best to make a desktop
icon for it or a shortcut, because if your keyboard should
go out on you, it would be handy to have it. All
you do to create the shortcut is to:
- Right
click on the desktop
- Click
the new shortcut button
- Type
osk, click next twice, and there you have it.
