    I've had KVM switches that use the scroll lock key to switch between computers.

    Me too. Have you also experienced that the sensitivity of mouse movements went up after using this? I'm still having one of those and it irritates me.

      A silly doubt. What is the use of Scroll Lock Key ? Is it really used frequently ?

                          I've noticed that indians often use the word doubt instead of question. I suppose that's because some of the indian languages (might be a cultural thing) doesn't distinguish between the two.

                            In WinXP, what is the purpose of Press Control-Alt-Delete to get the log on screen? Why can't that screen be displayed by default?

                                    The purpose is to ensure a "trusted path". The theory is that the operating system will not allow you to hook that specific key combination, thus you can be sure that whatever pops up when you hit those keys is legitimate, i.e., a system component, and not someone's application trying to trick you to give out your password. That's the theory anyway. :)

                                      Their employee manual used the sample user Jack Mehoff. I was the only one who had ever noticed this apearantly (it was a 400+ page tome). Had I been more cynical I should have sued :p

                                        I don't think I have used the Scroll Lock key since the days of MS-DOS in the mid to late '80. If I remember correctly it stopped the text screen scrolling when you issued a DIR or TYPE command; or was that the PAUSE button? Steve Jowett
