I'm sorry, I would like to help you find an answer, but I'm not sure what you need.
You are looking for a way to automatically enter the wep key every time you connect to the same site, instead of entering it manually every time? That's easy to do, if I understood correctly.
Is that your problem?

what i would like is the ability to paste wep or wpa key without having to type the key manually, i know once we type the correct key in we only need it once.

just typing the correct key without make a mistake example typing wpa key take 5 or 6 try's

I know MS has disabled the paste function when entering network key, was hoping for a work around.


Yes, we're lucky... there is a way to do that, if I understood correctly. When bringing up the "virtual keyboard" to type your password, press CTRL (the "control" key) and then press the "V" Key. Then you will be using the "paste" keyboard shortcut (ctrl+v); it will work just like in desktop windows (just in case you didn't know, in desktop windows computers ctrl+c means copy and ctrl+v means paste).
Of course you must copy the password first, from a text file.


Also, remember that when you know the password for a network, you can store it permanently for that network in its "network authentication settings" (Sorry, I don't use english wm5, so i don't know how it's exactly called in english). In the same tab where you specify the type of security for that network, so that every time you come back to that network, it won't ask for the key.

I hope that my answer is helpful to you. Good luck!
