(Click for larger view; source: Microsoft)StickyKeys allows users to generate Shift, Ctrl, and Alt modifiers without having to press two keys on a keyboard at once.
"One way to enable (and disable) StickyKeys is via the shortcut of pressing the Shift key five times," writes Medding. However, it also gives users "access to the Start menu which is not necessarily a good thing."
Once at the Start menu, the user can potentially run unauthorized programs or shut down the kiosk. Therefore, to eliminate this potential security problem, Medding's post discusses how to turn off the Shift-key shortcut for StickyKeys by changing an entry in Windows XP Embedded's registry.
Of course, as Medding points out, people with disabilities also need to use kiosks, so another method of enabling StickyKeys should be provided.
