Today i received a call from a regular client who has a defunct mouse,but with the terrible weather of late and the fact that she lives in the middle of nowhere I thought it was time to post this bit of info.

Due to its point and click nature, Windows is quite difficult to use without a mouse, But like in this clients case the mouse is defective it is possible to use the keyboard in its place.

To enable the Keyboard/mouse feature, press the following combination of keys…

Left ALT key + Left SHIFT key + NUM LOCK key.

Wait for the confirmation box to appear.

Press the TAB key until the Yes box is Highlighted then press The ENTER key.

The Keyboard mouse is then controlled by the number keys on the number pad on the left hand side of the keyboard.

The left mouse button is controlled by the 5 Key

The right hand button is controlled by the +Key

Turning off this feature is done by pressing the Left ALT key + Left SHIFT key + NUM LOCK key combination again.
