Problem Turning off filter keys

I have a lazy habit of resting a finger onf the shift key when I'm pausing between words. If I do that for more than 8 seconds, XP asks if I want to turn on FilterKeys. It does this even if I un-check the "Use FilterKeys" box on the Accessibility settings. The box stays un-checked, but the feature doesn't turn off.

Solutions

1. Select the Two Shift keys simultaneously for around 8–10 seconds. Your problem will be solved. (self experience0.

2. To work around this problem, disable the Shortcut option for Filter keys:
    In Control Panel, double-click Accessibility Options.
    Under FilterKeys, click Settings.
    Under Keyboard shortcut, click to clear the Use shortcut check box

3. Disable all the stupid accessibility keys for good by importing these registry settings...

;----------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Disable Sticky Keys
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys]
"Flags"="506"

;Disable Filter Keys
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\Keyboard Response]
"Flags"="122"

;Disable Toggle Keys
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\ToggleKeys]
