Some time ago on XP I was considering switching to Dvorak and I found this little program on line, "click here" and from than on the left Ctrl + Shift switches me to Dvorak. Well now it is just a hindrance and it followed me from XP to Windows 7. I've been the 'normal' route going through the control panel but it shows there it has never been changed. I'm not a programmer, I probably know just enough to get in trouble. I suspect something in the registry got changed, but that is just a guess. Can you at least tell me where to look. I could probably delete a line or change some small thing in registry if I knew where to look but that is about the limit of what I know. Thanks
