XP xomes with a program called OSK.EXE (for On Screen Keyboard). You'll find
it in your system32 folder.

I need to send an alt-tab to the OS when there is no keyboard attached.
Is it possible to do this through a program eg DOS box command line etc?

Dirk Bruere at NeoPax,

As Python 42 said, you can get OSK.exe from your system 32 file. Or from
Start/Programs/Accessories/Accessibility. But, have you considered that you
will need a pointing device of some sort to use it.

Try opening the on screen keyboard and reading it's Help file.

Very cool! But give the OP (and me) a hint as to how you
tell OSK to hold down ALT and TAB at the same time?

It appears the Alt key is a click on, click off; kind of like the clapper.

ahah! Looks like I just shot myself in the foot with exactly that!
Some keys (like small 'a' ) I could type but not small 'b'! So I've
learned a few shortcuts - the hard way!
