If you’re like me, you are sometimes at the computer while holding a kid in your lap and typing with one hand. At times like that, you might think, as I do, that it sure would be easier if I could use my mouse to type. Well, you can. Just press your Windows Logo Key and the R key at the same time (don’t worry, mouse instructions are coming, I know you have that kid in your lap). That brings up your Run screen. Now type “osk” (minus the quotes) and voila, an on screen keyboard. Now, if you want to go the mouse way, it’s Start–>Programs–>Accessories–> On Screen Keyboard.
