cassini_mtn Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) Windows XP Pro SP2 Lab with 9 identical PCsEach PC has to "limited" accounts and 1 "admin" accountAt login, a student held down the right shift key for 8+ seconds & initiated the "filter key" notice. I promoted each of the limited accounts to "admin" level; then logged in, on each of the 3 accounts and edited the registry[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Keyboard Response]"Flags"=""[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\HighContrast]"Flags"=""[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\MouseKeys]"Flags"=""[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys]"Flags"=""[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\ToggleKeys]"Flags"="" The above steps were taken from http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...mode=linearplusI rebooted [ not logged off ] held down the right shift button for 8+ seconds & again the "filter keys" screen appeared. I have searched the registry for "filterkeys" and found nothing. I created HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\FilterKeys] and string value of"Flags" with a value of "" control panel > accessibility options > "keyboard" tab > F'ilterKeys" is not selected. "Settings" button > "ignore quick keystrokes and slowdown the repeat rate" is selected. It is a radio button so I cannot "deselect" it. > settings I have set it to "no keyboard repeat" under the "override setting on the keyboard control panel".All critical windows updates were installed, as of 9 June 2006. I have not installed the June set. I await your assistance. Sincerely, CM Edited June 19, 2006 by cassini_mtn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogie Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 And when you hit the "Settings" button, you unchecked the "Use shortcut" checkbox, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 FilterKeys... I think it's one of the most useless features there is. Having it enable by "parking" on the shift key for 8 seconds is equally stupid, since resting on the shift key is something I should be able to do!At a computer lab I worked at, we'd frequently recieve reports of "bad keyboard" when it was actually FilterKeys!I think uninstalling the accessibility utilities will remove it.

HyperHacker Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Yeah, it's especially annoying if you're holding Shift trying to think of what to type, or playing a game and happen to hit it 5 times in a row, and *boink* a dialog pops up. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
