Winkiez LockKing

Introduction

The main function of this script is to inform users each time they hit one of the Lock-keys. This way, you can't accidentaly press them. Sometimes it's also hard to see what toggle state they are in. (Because your have a wireless keyboard with no LEDs for example) Therefor this script places one trayicon in the system tray to show all the states at ones.
Finally, this script hosts some extra options to prevent accidentally pressing.

Windows (XP) has a build-in warningsound for the Lock keys and there is other free software on the market, like FirstCap, but this easier and smaller.
And, because it's written in AHK... it's more ajustable!

Hotkeys

This script has the following Hotkeys hardcoded for proper working of the script.
(The script checks the toggle state of the Num Lock and Scroll Lock by a timer routine)

This script can only inform you when hitting the Insert key. It doet not retrieve the toggle state of this key because it might onlywork on Windows 2000/XP or later and not all applications might behave the same on system toggling.
