[senit] Ctrl, Alt, Delete keys simultaneously

From: "Alex Hammerstein" <aph at misnet.co.uk>

Sticky keys will solve this problem, but the other issue to consider may
be the network (it sounds like the young man is trying to log on). Often
Sticky keys will not be turned on when you log on because it is a
multi-user environment and not everyone wants/needs it.

Fortunately, the sticky keys options also allow for a shortcut to be
used to switch this feature on and off.- pressing the shift key 5 times
should switch sticky keys on or off, even at the windows log on screen.
You just need to ensure that's the option to use this shortcut is ticked
in the Sticky keys settings.

Alex

The youngster is having difficulty with his present situation (after the

amputation). He said "I can't even get access to the PC", which I think 
means he can not get the PC to start up from being switched off, due to
the 
position of the keys and the distance his fingers can stretch.

Many thanks for getting in touch

Andrea
