Thread: Switch to the Dvorak Keyboard Layout in XP

You might be trying to save your persistent friends and family from using your computer without behaving as you are hiding something in it. You might also be trying to ward off Alzheimer’s by purposely subjecting yourself to the irritation of feeling like you are still a young kid.

The Dvorak keyset has all this features, and making the switch is very simple than entering with it enabled. Here’s how it’s done to make the switch,.

Switching to the Dvorak Keyboard Layout

Go to the control panel.



And then double click Regional and Language Options from the menu.



Click the Languages Tab.



Click on Details button.

Now click the add option. Keep in mind the default US keyboard setting.



Now click the keyboard layout/IME box. choose United States-Dvorak from the dropdown menu.



Click OK option and you’ll return to this screen. Now, though, there’s the addition of the United States-Dvorak setting.



Now just choose it from the top drop down box, then click on apply option from the menu.



First time you might have to reboot, and you may be asked for your windows installation CD or a download at while the installation is in process. If asked, follow the prompts. When it’s finished, you’ll be able to enter easily within a period of few weeks.
