Vista - on-screen keyboard appears on start up, how do I prevent it from starting my day?

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?

Thanks, Dave Horne (IE7, Vista Home Premium)

Control Panel>Ease of Access>Ease of Access Center>Use the computer without
a mouse or keyboard> Uncheck "Use Onscreen Keyboard".

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.

Dave,

I have the same exact story! I inquired with both Microsoft and Dell and they have no fix for it as of yet.

Chris, the 'problem' has already been addressed in this thread. Retrieve
older messages and you'll see it.

Dave,

Thanks for the info. I failed to notice that the information on the page goes from earliest at the top to latest at the bottom. Also, JimR, thank you for the fix. Amazing, even Dell doesn't know how to fix it!
