How to stop on-screen keyboard at start-up

[kaw69]

Hi
I am running Vista on an Acer pc, kid`s were playing around on it and now the on-screen keyboard comes up at start-up. How do I stop this? tried a few things but to no avail.
TIA

Go to Control panel > Ease of Access > Under use Computer without keyboard or mouse you will find a check box for the On-Screen Keyboard. click on "use computer without keyboard or mouse" hit �SAVE� not apply. It will prompt you to re-start. That should fix the problem.

Great works fine now
(Still may box the kid`s ears for messing about)

Glad to be of assistance, in future set up user accounts for the kids and remove all admin abilities from their accounts.

That way they feel special that they have their own user name and settings, but can't change the important things on the computer.

... although you may well find (as I did) that it will return at random intervals - mine pops up on about 1 restart in every 4, and I've given up trying to permanently rid myself of it.
