ScrollLock

ScrollLock is a small software application designed specifically for helping you turn on or off the Scroll Lock key on your keyboard using simple actions. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

There are several advantages brought by portable tools to your system. ScrollLock is portable and can be stored on pen drives or other similar devices so you can have it with you all the time. You may run it straight from the storage device without having to possess administrative privileges.

It is important to mention that the utility does not leave entries in your Windows registry and create additional configuration items. It’s easy to get rid of it. A simple deletion task does the job.

ScrollLock does not offer support for a graphical user interface. In order to activate or disable your Scroll Lock key you need to double-click on the executable file. You may also opt for adding the program to your Windows startup folder in order to make sure the Scroll Lock key is turned on.

What’s more, you can run the tool via the command-line panel so you can quickly either turn the key on or off. There’s also support for an online HTML help manual that provides short descriptions about the configuration process.

Tests have pointed out that ScrollLock is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it hampers your computer’s performance. On the downside, the application has not been updated for a long time so you may experience bugs and all sorts of errors on newer operating systems like Windows 8 and 10.

To sum things up, ScrollLock has to offer nothing more than a simple software solution for helping you get control over the status of your Scroll Lock key from the comfort of your desktop, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.
