- I take it you forgot that one. Sounds like you have it
- installed. It turns on when you press the shift key five times, and is
- meant for people who cannot press two keys at once. (caps lok, shift,
- control, option, and combo's thereof.) Just take it out of the cp
- folder and it should fix your prob.
