Disable sticky keys 2

[itsteapot]

Hi does any one know how to disable sticky keys with a script.
The kids in school drive us nuts pressing shift 5 times to enable it and the reg hack does not stop it.


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys]
"Flags"="506

Disable it via group policy.

I hope that helps.

Regards,

Mark

Hi I have looked in group policy, however I cannot find a setting that will disable the user from hitting shift 5 times to enable sticky keys. I have used the reg as described in web posts but only works the once, logoff and it reappears.

Hi Mark I ws passed this script, but it fails
'Disable Sticky Keys
Set ObjShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
RegKey = "HKCU\Control Panel\Accessability\Stickykeys\"
WSHShell.RegWrite regkey & "Flags","506","REG_SZ"

with object required WSHShell

 

[PHV]

[!]ObjShell[/!].RegWrite regkey & "Flags","506","REG_SZ"

Hope This Helps, PH.

This can be accomplished by deleting the following registry entry and blocking access to the control panel via GPO:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility

Delete the entire Accessibilty folder and restart the PC.

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Control Panel\Accessibility"

I hope that helps.

Hi all, thanks for your help, but have now sorted the problem with a batch file. CODE BELOW
*********************************************************
reg delete "HKCU\Control Panel\Accessibility" /f

PAUSE

'pause put in to test that it worked

**********************************************************

That does EXACTLY the same thing as the script I provided.

I hope that helps.
