Whenever I play a game and press the shift key repeatedly which is in use in the game for some movements, the sticky keys option always pops up and the game minimizes to desktop screen. I tried to disable it but it bugs me all the time. Can anyone help me remove this sticky keys once and for all. Thank you. I am on Windows XP SP3.
Go to Control Panel>Accessibility Options>Keyboard>Sticky Keys and uncheck "Use sticky keys".
OR try going to the Accessibility Options>Keyboard, click the Settings button on Sticky Keys and uncheck "Use Shortcut". I just tried it with mine and that seemed to work.
By pressing the Shift key 5 times, an option window will appear.
To remove the StickyKeys feature, click the Settings button.
Then in the resulting accessibility options window, click the Keyboard tab.
Uncheck the Use StickyKeys checkbox.
Click the StickyKeys Settings button.
Uncheck the Use Shortcut checkbox.
Click Apply, then click OK twice to exit all open windows.
Under Vista:
It is also possible to enable or disable this feature by going to
Control panel / Ease of Access Center / Make the keyboard easier to use
Under Make it easier to type check or uncheck to Enable or disable the Sticky Keys ant click on Apply to validate the changes.
