On Screen Keyboard (OSK)

Using OSK (On Screen Keyboard) or Virtual Keyboard is recommended to prevent your password being stolen especially if you are accessing internet in a public internet cafe or you just want to give your finger a little break.

There’s two ways to open OSK Virtual Keyboard:

1. Click  Start -> Run -> type OSK. You’ll see a virtual keyboard appear on screen.

2. Cick Start -> All Programs -> Accessibility -> On-Screen KeyBoard. A virtual keyboard will be seen on screen.

2. The “Keyboard” will be in the top of other applications.

3. Click the Virtual Keyboad using mouse.

2. This command can be used in Windows XP and 2000
