Hi Folks:

Can someone tell me what the default values are for the items under Control Panel/Accessibility/Keyboard Response are? Specifically:

AutoRepeatDelay
AutoRepeatRate
BounceTime

Cheers!

    From my old Kernel docs and from "Mastering Windows XP Registry" (same values) =>

    AutoRepeatDelay This entry has a default value of 1000, or one second. Increasing this value
    increases the wait time before the keyboard auto-repeat kicks in.

    AutoRepeatRate This entry has a default value of 500. Increasing this value increases the
    repeat rate.

    BounceTime This entry has a default value of 0. This value specifies the amount of time to
    ignore a keystroke after pressing and releasing a key. This helps eliminate false double
    keystrokes.

    DelayBeforeAcceptance This entry has a default value of 1000. Increasing it increases the
    amount of time that a key must be pressed before it registers as being pressed. Changing the
    default here is useful if a user has a tendency to hit keys by mistake.

    "AutoRepeatDelay"="200"

    "AutoRepeatRate"="6"

    "DelayBeforeAcceptance"="0"
