    • I got burned by the sticky keys this morning. It won’t happen again.

    Edit C:\WINDOWS\inf\sysoc.inf

    Find the line that reads as follows:

    AccessOpt=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,optional.inf,HIDE,7

    Delete the HIDE so it reads:

    AccessOpt=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,optional.inf,,7

    Open Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows
    Components -> Accessories and Utilities -> Details -> Uncheck
    Accessibility Wizard -> OK

    Looks like I’m not the only one…
