Can I ENLARGE virtual keyboard/

[Ritter 197]

Is there a way to enlarge the virtual keyboard within the accessibility
folder of Windows XP?
For visually severely handicapped it is too small on screen.

perhaps, you might
try adjusting the resolution
to the desktop.

if you right click on a
blank area of the desktop
and select properties,
the settings tab on the right
will give you the option to
adjust the desktop resolution.

so for example if your
resolution is set to a
tiny 1200 x 900, you
can lower the resolution
by trying a setting of
400 x 600.

-------------

with the lower resolution,
the desktop will become
larger and stretch outside
of the viewing boundaries.

so you will have to use the
mouse to rein in the outer
portions of the desktop onto
your viewable area

also, with the larger desktop
you might consider adding
another monitor to your system.

that way your large desktop
will stretch over them.

I found a virtual KB on line that allows to do all kind of things and looks
very good. It is free too under:
