On Screen Keyboard
this is cool if you ever mess up your keyboard!*

I'm not sure how many of you would like to use this, but I thought
it would be a neat little idea to share with you all. Did you know
that you can put a keyboard on your computer screen and actually
type with it?

If that sounds interesting to you, then follow these directions.
Go to Start,
Run and type in osk
Click OK
and a mini keyboard will pop up on your screen. Now, open up the
program you want to write in and start clicking the letters on the
keyboard with your mouse. The letters will appear and your typing
will be done.

This may not be the quickest way to type, but if you like to use
your mouse and you don't exactly like typing on the keyboard, this
is perfect for you.

Once you have the keyboard on your screen, you can even go to the
Settings menu and choose your own font and size. There is also a
sound option, so if you like to hear the keys clicking, choose "Use
clicking sound." In the Keyboard  menu, you can also choose the
number of keys you would like to have displayed, between 101, 102
and 106.

Isn't that cool?  I just used it to type this last sentence. Keep in
mind that it might take you a little while to get acquainted with
the keys on the on screen keyboard, but it's definitely worth a shot
and it's kinda fun.
There's also a Help menu if you need any further help figuring it
all out.
