Disable on-screen keyboard on Windows 7/8

How can I rename a file in a system folder on Windows 7?

I tried RequestExecutionLevel admin directive, but it does not work. I cannot rename file even manually - there are no change permissions for Administrators. First you must change file owner, update permissions and only then you can rename a file.

What will be the command to change the file owner to Administrators? (or, is there another way to rename a file in a system folder on Windows 7?)

If there is some setting in the Control panel that toggles the OSK autostart then finding the registry setting for that is probably the best option. Try Process Monitor or RegShot.

Another alternative is adding something that runs at startup and kills osk.exe. Something as simple as a shortcut that executes taskkill.exe can be enough.

Renaming a system file is not something that I would recommend and to do it you would have to use the AccessControl plugin to change ownership etc.
