F Lock on the MS Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1,0

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Hi,



I have this little but frustrating issue:



The function keys on this keyboard have a double function. They will work
like normal F keys, but also have other functionalities assigned to them (F
1 is Help, F2 is undo, F3 is redo, etc...).



I like that the default functionality to be the normal function keys as
we've always known them. -- To lock into a function key, I have to press a
button called F lock. -- Unfortunately, and unlike the Num lock or Cap lock
keys, when you restart the computer, it "loses" the setting and you have to
press F lock each time you start the computer to use the Function keys.



IS there a way around this to ensure the F Lock key remains active, even
after a restart??



thanks



Mandel
