Microsoft Windows: Finding the (un)hidden ones!


Continuing with the previous blog post of tweaking Windows operating system, this time we will look at one of the must know features of Windows which helps us in accomplishing our day-to-day tasks in much easier way!


On various occasions our keyboard (Desktop/Laptop) behaves abnormally, i.e. we type something and it display something else. A quick-fix solution to this problem is restart your computer, and most often than not the problem get resolved! And in cases where it does not happen, here is the other of getting ahead with our work till keyboard return to its normal behaviour, by using Virtual/On-Screen Keyboard.


Follow the path to activate it:
  • For Windows XP users: Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>On-Screen Keyboard
  • For Windows Vista/7 users: Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>Ease of Access>On-Screen Keyboard

Using this particular feature of Windows is recommended whenever you are entering passwords either on personal computer or shared computers' (public places) or at any banking terminal or involved in any other kind of online transactions, as use of Virtual/On-Screen Keyboard saves us from phishing attacks and malware attacks
So let us work in safer environment!
