Now honestly... have you *never* ever touched it? I have. In a "proper" restaurant the food should be hot but the plate should be tepid (and waiters don't go around yelling "hot plate"). This old man actually made a mistake, but we all make mistakes. The problem is that it became a major issue stopping him from using his computer. My point is that I can find *NO* reason to apply keyboard settings to user login passwords, and lots of reasons not to apply them. As for the keyboard setting button in the upper left corner I have not been able to check it yet. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/4e4147fd.3040...@gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
