Those who have problems holding down several keys at once can choose to use a feature called Stickykeys, which enables users to press one key after the other instead of holding them all down at the same time. This also applies to actions such as holding down the Shift key to get capital letters. Bouncekeys is a related enhancement that ignores accidentally-repeated keystrokes and is a help to anybody with shaking hands.

Because it's easy to turn on Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock by mistake, the Accessibility Wizard can turn on warning messages whenever these keys are pressed. For users who have difficulty using a mouse and would prefer to work via the keyboard, a feature called Extra Keyboard Help shows messages whenever the keyboard can be used to complete a common task.

Anybody who wants to dispense with the mouse altogether can invoke Mousekeys, a facility that turns the numeric keypad on the right of the keyboard into a virtual mouse. Mouse users can switch the functions of the left and right buttons if this makes it easier to use, and because all these settings can be saved on a per-user basis, they don't interfere with other people working at the same computer. You can always run the Accessibility Wizard again if your needs change, or if you find the selected options aren't helping. Alternatively, the settings can be accessed via the Windows Control Panel, which you'll find by clicking the Start button. Select Accessibility Options to alter individual settings for the keyboard, mouse, display and more
