You are probably
wondering why you would ever need an onscreen keyboard when you have a proper
one right in front of you. Well things happen, and trust me, one day you may
need it. A friend of mine used it regularly because he was missing a few keys
off his laptop keyboard.. They were not cheap to replace either.
It is also
great for people with disabilities that find it easier to use a mouse rather
than a keyboard. To bring up the on screen keyboard, following these simple
steps.
- Click on
start at the bottom left corner.
- Choose
run and type
OSK
- Then the
keyboard will come up (pictured
below)
Another way
- Click on
start at the bottom left corner.
- Then choose All Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>Onscreen
keyboard

If you want to
use this keyboard regularly you can make a shortcut to it on the desktop. Here's
how.
- Right click on
the desktop
- Choose
new. Then
choose shortcut.
- Type
osk, click
next, and then click
finish.
- An icon will
now be on the desktop.
