On a W2K Pro system one of my users was futzing and now the sticky keys are turned on only when they first log in (it does not matter who you are logging in as admin or user) ... I know where the sticky key settings are -- and I've turned them off for the user + admin (both group and network). Once you are logged in, the sticky keys go away.
But where do I turn it off before you are even logging in?

Have you checked in the registry? I have just checked my settings (never had sticky keys switched on) and found the following:

My Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Accessibility\StickyKeys
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
Flags REG_SZ 506

I believe that this may be causing a problem. If not have you checked within the services settings in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to see if it's loading up when the machine does?

The problem was that by one of the settings in the accessibility area, it said "Start UP" ... these settings had not been changed. Thanks. jk
