Disable On Screen Keyboard in Windows 7

I've found that one can configure this behaviour at "Control Panel" -> "Tablet PC Settings" -> "Other" -> "Input Panel Settings" -> "Opening".


  • Go to Options (click the Options button on the keyboard)
  • In the window there's the link to enabling/disabling the keyboard at startup.
  • Uncheck Use On-screen Keyboard
  • Reboot computer
