Enable ToggleKeys in Windows XP

created by , 26. 03. 2012

ToggleKeys is an accessibility feature designed for people who have vision impairment or cognitive disabilities. When ToggleKeys is turned on, your computer will provide sound cues when the locking keys (CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK, or SCROLL LOCK) are pressed. A high sound plays when the keys are switched on and a low sound plays when they are switched off. This procedure tells you how to turn on ToggleKeys through Accessibility Options in Control Panel.
