I had a problem with my new computer - the wireless keyboard stopped working
and I activated the on-screen keyboard in Ease of Access. (My wireless
keyboard problem has since been resolved.)

The on-screen keyboard now appears every time I boot up. It's a minor
annoyance to deactivate it. How can I stop it from showing up every
morning?

Jim, thank you! I now see just how easy this was to accomplish. My
apologies for taking up your time.

Thanks again, Dave Horne

Glad that resolved it for you Dave. That setting is just not in an intuitive
place. I knew it was there and it still took me 5 minutes to find it. :)
