Rearrange the keys on your keyboard. Looking at the keyboard is the greatest factor that prevents you from touch typing.

Mavis Beacon teaches touch typing, I think is the name. I've used it, its fantastic. If you know Autohotkey, you can use the following script to put a keyboard on the screen, so that way you don't look at the keyboard itself and continue to look at the screen: On-Screen Keyboard (requires XP/2k/NT) -- by Jon |

Oh, RT Wolf, this is so cool. Some years ago I used NLP to study people who touch type. To make it short, all is needed is an on-screen keyboard that can show what key is pressed. Ideally it should be semi-transparent, but not necessarily. When I learned to touch type I've used a virtual keyboard from Microsoft - it was the best one, worked with very locale, but required a product from Office2000 to be installed. Nowadays it is not practical to expect it other than through piracy. Also in Windows 2000 the onscreen keyboard was included in default windows distribution. It is still present in WindowsXP, but for some reason the keyboard does not show what key is pressed. Doh! So now there is a solution, at least for English language.
