KBDCPL /S Option Unclear Under KBDCPL /? (121313)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Natural Keyboard with IntelliType software

This article was previously published under Q121313

SUMMARY

The KBDCPL /S command-line option for the Microsoft Natural Keyboard with IntelliType software sets the values found in the MSINPUT.INI file for the CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK, SCROLL LOCK, repeat rate, and repeat delay.

MORE INFORMATION

If you type KBDCPL /?, the /S choice reads as follows:

Sets apps lock, num lock, scroll lock, repeat rate and repeat delay with values in MSINPUT.INI.

This can easily be misunderstand as actually setting the option ON (that is, CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK activated) and setting the newly set values in the MSINPUT.INI file. These options can only be changed through the IntelliType Manager. KBDCPL /S only initiates the settings found in the saved MSINPUT.INI file.
