How can I login to the domain using a touchscreen?

First you need to display the TouchScreen screen. Take a look at the help screens to find out the specifics. You may need to connect a keyboard as there are some settings that need to configured in the POS screen. Once the TouchScreen screen is setup you can use the Numbers and Keyboard buttons to enter in login information.

If for any reason you cannot connect a keyboard to the computer you can modify the Registry settings of that machine but be warned making any changes could potentially ruin your system. The keys that need modifying are: Keyboard changed to True KeyboardWindowHeight changed to a numeric value of the height of the TouchScreen window you desire KeyboardWindowTop changed to a numeric value of were you want the TouchScreen window to start KeyboardWindowWidth change to a numeric value of the width of your screen resolution These have to deal with the position of the POS screen TransactionWindowBorder changed to equal True TransactionWindowHeight same as above TransactionWindowTop same as above TransactionWindowWidth same as above These keys are located: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Retail Management System\Store Operations\POSUser\Display

An example of position for a 1024 x 768 resolution with the Taskbar hidden would be: Keyboard = True KeyboardWindowHeight = 200 KeyboardWindowTop = 568 KeyboardWindowWidth = 1024 TransactionWindowHeight = 568 TransactionWindowTop = 0 TransactionWindowWidth = 1024 TransactionWindowBorder = True

Anthony,

If you are running XP, try the on-screen keyboard. Start | Programs | Accessories | Accessibility | On-Screen Keyboard

I forgot about that, good one Jeff.

That's still not going to get him logged into Windows though - you have to be logged in before the Start menu is available.

There may be some third party utilities out there that will display an onscreen keyboard for Logon. There may be a way to get the Windows On Screen Keyboard to launch automatically, but a quick Google search just sort of hinted at it - you'd have to dig a lot deeper to get it working.

If all else fails, you could get a copy of Windows XP Tablet Edition and install it - it automatically displays it's own onscreen keyboard at Login (this is a differnt keyboard than the one under Accessories/Accessibility).

Anthony,

Sorry, I thought that the on-screen was available at log in.

Maybe you will need XP to auto log in. Start | Run | type "control userpasswords2" without the quotes and change your settings there.
