Anyone use XP onscreen keyboard?

[Apollo]

Seems like this would be a great idea for cabs. I'm sure there are people out there using it.
Basically as I see it all you would need to make the cab really clean would be a wireless mouse and to use the XP on screen keyboard for admin etc.
Being such a hopeless noob I only just discovered it today so was wondering if anyone had gone this way and whether there were any problems involved with this method of cab control?

that's a great idea!! i'm using a wireless mouse already and now i've learnt something new about my pc. i wonder if i can get it for win98 which is in my cab...

I have XP professional--how do you access the onscreen keyboard??  I would really like to take advantage of that feature.  How do you do it?
Thanks.

just type in osk in the run thingo. thats how i found it.

update on win98. i tried to install osk.exe on win98 but it didn't work    i even copied and pasted the different things it said were missing from my xp pc to my win98 cab but no go. bummer because i havent been able to find a free version on google yet. there are some shareware ones around though

for xp              start menu > program > accessories > accessibility > on-screen keyboard

not sure for 98

So you used the onscreen keyboard to type "osk"?  

This is a nice find by the way.  I didn't know about this.

Download the attached file "OSK.txt", rename the file to "OSK.rar" and extract.

Beutiful little OSK program that was designed for use with CarPCs and the like.  You can easily make your own skin for it and configure buttons if I recall correctly.  If you want more information on it, I found it at www.mp3car.com but you'll have to search for it yourself as I don't remember exactly where I found it.

hehe. well, i had no idea where to look so i googled it. i typed with my real keyboard on my pc so i could check it out. i havent tried to look for it on my cab which is win98 cos i dont have a keyboard to type!! crashwygs idea sounds promising. ill be sure to put a shortcut within easy reach of a mouse

That is an excellent idea.  Isn't it kinda clunky though?  I guess it is better than having no keyboard in a cab though.

Hey I've used Onscreen Keyboard, It's really helpful. Nice Idea to use it on a cab

Nice of you to post your find, but unfortunately, I think some of the regulars were being rather saracastic about it........they already knew

Oh oooops, well as I said I am an old time gamer but a bit of a PC noob, and I haven't seen it mentioned here before. Maybe I should have used the search function.
And shame on you guys for taking the piss! LOL.
