We are going to upgrade are tablets to Tablet 2005. With 2000 we where able
to have the onscreen keyboard start with windows but with 2005 this does not
seem to have this opion is there another way to get the keyboard to start
with windows.

Thank you for your help.

The keyboard appears automatically at login time for me. No settings necessary.

In what situation, Paul? Are you talking about the logon screen or at the
desktop?

That is a bit of a complicated matter, Paul, because you would need prepared
user accounts first, then invoke a classic logon screen as described in this
Knowledge Base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;291559 How many
Tablet PCs are you talking about, and what control over the user accounts do
you have?

You may be able to prepare the Windows XP SP2 update with Sysprep, to set
the logon requirement, as described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;302577 but I
honestly don't know how you would capture the individual account/password
information beyond the Administrator account. And I wouldn't suggest
running each Tablet PC in "the" Administrator account because you remove the
fall-back security of being able to use that account to fix a corrupted User
account.

Do you have a local Microsoft account representative you could contact?

We do have it as classic logon (alt-ctrl-del). We have 15 tablets and any
of the 15 user can logon to them. We created local accounts on each but we
can't get the onscreen keyboard to come up at (alt-ctrl-del).

Okay, you're a bit above my knowledge here, but it would seem to me the
image would be prepared with a policy set to invoke "Use the Welcome screen"
which would present user accounts each one would need to tap, and then
they'd use the graphical keyboard to logon with a password. If the Use the
Welcome screen is off by default, then you will get the ctrl-alt-del
function.
