  1. I think I enabled something with my key input by accident. Locked out out of windows now.


    I was using the web browser and accidentally brought up the context shortcut key and did something.

    Every time I clicked on a search box or text block in a email or notepad it would highlight everything, my keyboard only types symbols instead of letters, and I could only highlight tabs in the browser when I clicked on them. I tried pressing a few shortcuts that I knew about but they didn't help so I rebooted the desktop and now I can't log in because I can't enter the password.

    Enable or Disable the Caps Lock Key in Windows 10


    Yep me!!!!*Redface

    Note: The original PNGs I found on Bing Images, but artist name wasn't given, I did alot of modifying in GIMP and iconified them myself though.

    But....
    Shawn you know how I like personalizing dry things like .bat, .vbs, and .reg file, right?


    1. Well I created a folder for both reg files, and placed it in my Documents folder.
    2. Then I created shortcuts to the desktop(using "Send to").
    3. I placed the shortcuts in a folder on the desktop.
    4. Then I customized the folder icon, and the reg file shortcuts(you cannot change the actual reg files icon, hence the shortcuts).
    I did this so that I could run both files as needed from the desktop toolbar.
