KeyboardPort

Description

This entry is added to the registry, but it is not used. In Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, the keyboard class driver uses this entry to locate keyboard port device objects. In Windows Server 2003, the keyboard class driver locates non–Plug and Play keyboards by using entries in the DEVICEMAP subkey (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\Devicemap\KeyboardClass).
