I would have thought that even a pre primary school child would know how appalling it is after unintentionally encountering it; and note how it is apparently only there to frustrate the user and cause as much intense rage as is humanly possible via a PC. There is surely nothing that can be said that isn't warranted. If a disabled individual finds these functions useful then they should be separate downloadable applications that can be installed by the individual who sets up their PC.
To inflict it on the rest of us can only be the act of either someone who is incapable of seeing the consequences of such thoughtless action, or who knew full well but had a sadistic streak. In either case they should be no longer employed in a position where they can cause such havoc, and stress to millions of decent individuals.
I posted the original criticism and yet again I'm on a new computer and Sticky Keys was enabled by default and yet again it screwed me and I still believe the creater of sticky keys should be suitably waterboarded until he or she realizes their mistake at making MS believe this is useful for anyone other than 0.
I went into accessibility options, "disabled it", and "turned it off. Neither worked. I'm thinking I'm going to have to buy a new computer if there is no known solution to this! To turn off Stickykeys, and not have any wierd sort of caps lock going on or lack of scroll I am very suprised noone has worked that out or mentioned it.
Hope this helps, it was the bane of my computing life. James —Preceding unsigned comment added by Listen to this article Thanks for reporting this video!

But this isn't the same thing as sticky keys. Unread post The early BAT keyboard by Infogrip is from , and it makes heavy use of the sticky key concept although it does not call them like that. For instance, pressing and releasing the blue thumb key activates a "sticky" shift so the next character is shifted.
And before you tell me you saw this a hundred times, I tell you that this one had unexpected turns And my purpose right now is only showing you the present limitations I encountered and the workarounds I found to exploit it. I started by trying to exploit directly through the native OS troubleshooting mode, and I immediately crashed on the first wall, the password-protected Cmd. I retried the same using a Windows installation image but again hitting the same problem:.
After thinking for some time on a solution, I found that this could be a recent limitation since my installation image was the most recent. All I had to now was restart Windows, hit shift key 5 times, and my Cmd window opened. Here some people said to have found limitations because the firewall would detect the exploit. This could probably be bypassed by using the first command-line window to disable the firewall, but I had no problem with this.
I guess this is a result of some configuration that I made earlier that deny access to the admin. I tried some things to get around this problem, but I couldn't find a solution until I remembered So I checked for the admin account, activated it and was able to change its password.
From there I verified that I still had the permission to do pretty much everything, including accessing any personal file from the user account. From a terminal, I executed the following command:. This created a persistent Cmd Shell giving me remote access to the user account through port , as soon as the computer booted again. For instance, having my hands dirty already, I could simply have netcat executable in a flash drive, and copy it to the victim's computer.
Some of these solutions will work, some better than others and with different setup difficulties. But wouldn't you prefer a simpler and more secure way? That's your answer. It's the first and easiest step you can take to protect against this.
This way an attacker would first have to know your password to decrypt the device before being able to use any exploit. There are different ways you can achieve this encryption in Windows machines.
