can't gind it any more. Anyone know where it is?

Many thanks

The start menu shortcut is normally in Accessories> Accessibility. The path
to the executable is:
%SystemRoot%\system32\osk.exe

You can achieve the same via one of the following 2 methods:

1) Look at the image of the layout here:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.aspx

2) Use so called 'phonetic' layout (as most people do) -
you press "A' - get Russian "A", press 'O' - get Russian 'O',etc.
It is done without any 3rd party program, just with regular
MS Windows keyboard tools.
The instruction - in the "Russian Keyboard" section of my site.
