This program will toggle the Num Lock, Caps Lock, or Scroll Lock keys every X minutes. You can setup which keys to toggle and how often to toggle each key. The latest version allows you to launch a pre-configured Windows shortcut (using command line options) without displaying the standard setup screen. This is perfect for launching the program within a users startup group.
