    This is killing me. Everytime I hold down the shift key for disabling cdboots or using it for a game or whatever... that damn "sticky key" feature pops up. I click on "settings" to stop it but nothing happens... the dialog box just disappears immediately. The same with Cancel. Is there a file I can kill or a reghack I can use? This is driving me barmy. Arrrrgh! Anyone hate this feature? I guess it should be possible to uininstall via windows setup under disabilities etc.... :confused:

    Hence the bit about classic view in control panel :)

    Tools - Folder options - use windows classic etc.
