FilterKeys Setter... for a faster key repeat (in Windows)

bug report:

I get another bug and it seems nobody else so far got that.
The Flag value is automatically set to 127 although i saved it with 126 every time i restart (or relog) my pc.
This is the case since i clicked apply after checking the save to registry box when using your program.

And when i manually change the flag value to 126 in the registry, it doesn't work because it is automatically set to 127 when restarting my pc. :(

Maybe i could fix it if i knew what this program exactly does?
Need help please  :'(

I dunno if it's a bug in the program, or a quirk in Windows. There's source code and a few links in the post which might help, but maybe the first thing to try is resetting the values. Either run FilterKeys Setter, click Default, Save to registry, Apply, or use the Accessibility Options Control Panel Applet to set something valid. Then see if the odd behaviour still happens when you edit the registry manually.

I have already tried those things. But without success.
I looked into the source code but i am not a programmer and don't understand it.

Luckily i have found a temporary solution. I erased the whole Accessibility folder in the registry. I will post how i did it just in case someone else encounters the same problem
1. Open registry editor
2. Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel
3. Make a backup of folder Accessibility (in case you want to restore it. Save it where you want)
4. Erase Accessibility folder
5. ??
6. Profit!!

I think this works because whatever automatically changes my flag value every time i restart my pc, it can't do that when there is nothing that can be changed...

Soarer:
Hmm, still doesn't answer why Windows kept turning it back on!

Most of the program is just dealing with the dialog controls etc., with all the actual work being done in a single call to a Windows function. So it's kinda difficult to see how this program could be causing the behaviour! :D

Hi! Just found your program and tested it.
That's excellent solution for changing undocumented typematic values. Especially Delay/Rate. But there's some trouble using these feature. When filterKeys flag is ON - It would not filter if some application slows and key will simply stuck, so I have to Press it again to Unpress. So In normal mode - after some waiting when key is stuck - it will unpress it. In "flag" on - it will not...

By the way. I have a simple multimedia keyboard with feature to change typematic (7 modes. 4th - seems original mode.) 7th fastest - is like rate=10ms/delay=150ms. But the main reason it's best - it still uses stuck filter. So it will add KeyOff after some time of stucking...  Also it works from the very start of Bios, so even in other OS. I just want to find some program that can trackdown the values in memory that it changes and applies, and get it in your program.
my keyboard now is Turbo-Media KB9801R+.
