Disable keyboard regedit on Windows CE handheld not working

windows keyboard windows-ce boot regedit

I'm trying to disable the automatic keyboard pop up as soon as you enter an input field on a handheld, operating Windows CE.

It works by setting the key value "TurnOffAutoDeploy" to "1".

I created this regedit script:

REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip] "TurnOffAutoDeploy"="1"

I copied the file into the "Application" folder, in order to load up my script automatically, which changes the keyvalue after a cold boot.

Problem: After a cold boot the keyboard still pops up after entering an input field. I checked the registry again and the key is changed to "1", just as I wanted. Seems like it doesn't affect anything. I tried many other things, i.e. changing the "Disabled" and "AllowChange". NOT working.

Have you ever experienced this?

I appreciate your help. Thanks

If anyone is stuck on this problem, this is the solution. Use this reg script:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:1

And copy your file to the Application/ folder.
