I was playing around with a few of Vista's settings on my laptop. Unfortunately, one of those settings was the ?On-Screen Keyboard.? Now I had the utility set to automatically start up each time I logged on; however, I did not want or need the convenience. After a few more logins, it got really annoying and it was time to unset the setting. But it took me awhile to find the setting again and then uncheck it.

Here is the path to the setting via the control panel.

Control Panel=>Ease of Access Center=>Use the computer without a mouse or
keyboard=>On-screen keyboard (uncheck it and then Save)
