I teach keyboarding and computer applications. Somehow, my students have discovered a way to lock the keyboard, except for the Start Button. All we can do is reboot. Any suggestions?I've tried Google, but I only get instructions to lock the computer.1 person needs an answerI do too

Most keyboards don't have "Start" button... I remember in the Windows '98 days when I purchased a keyboard with a locking feature. More than likely it is a keyboard "feature" rather than a Windows feature. Try going to your keyboard manufacturer's website and see if you can find a manual for that keyboard and see if there is a locking/unlocking sequence. If it is the keyboard, then simply unplugging it from your computer for several seconds might cause it to power-cycle and unlock that way. It would be quicker than rebooting the machine.HTH, JW

Try to press Windows Key +U, see if Windows Ease Access will open.If yes, then unselect everything there and save, see if problem will resolve.

If you're the teacher, you are supposed to be in charge, not the students.
