Disable Sticky Key Notification in Vista and XP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Filter Keys is an annoying Windows feature that can be turned off permanently in one simple step. Filter Keys ignores keyboard input unless the key is held down for a significant period of time, and is triggered when you hold down a key, such as shift, for 8 seconds.

Turning off Filter Keys in Windows Vista is very similar to the process in XP, Vista just uses different language to describe the same things. In XP, you need to go to “Accessibility Options”. In Vista, this is referred to as the “Ease of Access Center”. Take a look at “Ignore or slow down brief or repeated keystrokes (Filter Keys)” at the Windows Vista Accessibility Tutorials site. This is a tutorial on turning Filter Keys on, so where Microsoft says “check”, you should un-check, and when they say “turn on”, you should turn off.
