XPe Login Window: Possible to launch the Windows onscreen keyboard

[Wayne Tam]

Hello all,

The issue:

I have a machine setup with no keyboard or mouse that utilizes a
touchscreen monitor. I still want to use the standard windows user
login authentication prompt (Login name and Password). I know that
within windows, you have the ability to get the windows onscreen
keyboard to open by pressing the 'windows' button on the keyboard
concurrently with the letter 'U'. But the problem in my case is that
I do not have a keyboard option.

Does anyone know if it is possible to start the window onscreen
keyboard at start up with the standard Windows login page?

Thanks in advance,

Wayne Tam

Hello Wayne,

I had the same problem with a webpad some weeks ago.
Onscreen keyboard only comes up, by pressing "Windows Logo" + "U" buttons.
You will need "Utility Manager" in addition to "onscreen keyboard".
Is there any Button on your system, which you could remap to send "Windows
Logo" + "U" ?
There is a Registry-key for remapping buttons.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
