Assign special keys on top of the keyboard

How to assign special keys on top of the keyboard that is to say "My Documents", "My pictures" 'My music' etc. Media, Mail and Web/home buttons seem to work very well, but not these first three.

OK - I have now installed the PS/2, as suggested - what next drivers please?

David

Just to be sure - you have a PS/2 type keyboard and you are * not * using adapters to plug into the computer via USB, correct?  In fact, it is connected to a PS/2 port?

Technically - if she was going to work - it should work as soon as you have installed the drivers.  I don't think they were ever "programmable" - not without hacking the registry a little.

May read this article...

http://www.blogfeld.com/2009/11/Natural-Keyboard-Pro-Windows-7-Vista.html

And note these registry entries / this area in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\15]
'Association '=' mailto'

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\16]
"Association"=".cda".

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\17]
' ShellExecute '=': {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} ".

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\18]
"ShellExecute"="calc.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7]
'Association '=' http'

Maybe with a little persistence (looking at the ein right located the registry and put in some creative entries) you can get them working again. :-(

Sorry, I couldn't find more - it is difficult to help with certain things when you can not try it for yourself. Heh

  • Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia Keyboard, special keys on top of the keyboard do nothing

    Hello

    I use Vista 64 bit and am having a problem with my Microsoft Wireless Natural Multimedia keyboard.  I use a port USB to ps/2 adapter for keyboard can work in my Dell which has usb inputs.  I downloaded and installed ITP64Eng6.30.191.0.exe Web sites to get the keyboard work.

    Almost everything works fine except for the special keys on top of the keyboard (My Documents, my pictures, my music and Messenger).  When I press the buttons, nothing happens.  I tried the reallocation by using the software that has been installed with ITP64Eng6.30.191.0.exe nothing works.   Curiously, some other buttons special (media, mail and home) do not work except that they cannot be reassigned.  I also tried to delete and reinstalled ITP64Eng6.30.191.0.exe without success to get all of the keys on the keyboard to work.

    In addition, sometimes the return key back and to the right cursor key will not work.  Sometimes they work and sometimes they are not.  Ususally they work very well for a while and then if I reboot they will work again.

    Keyboard diagnostics does not recognize the keys that do not work as same presses.  I know that all the keys work fine when I use them on my XP machine.

    Thanks for your help.

    To study more, I start to think that the keyboard doesn't perhaps due to the adapter usb to ps/2.  I use the SABRENT USB to PS/2 (PS/2) converter adapter cable model SBT-PS2U.  Based on the reviews on newegg.com, it may be the card that is originally a few keys not working and the collage of some keys.

  • Tap the buttons at the top of the keyboard does not...

    Purchased a HP 1451nr laptop a few weeks and love, however, today noticed that the touch buttons at the top of the keyboard (the secret button, volume button, and button assistant wireless) on which, in my view, is called capacitive band, do not work.  You can change the volume and mute OK, the sound works fine, just none of the buttons work.

    HP e-mail and they proposed a system restore would solve the problem, and it didn't.  Surely someone else has had this problem... any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance...

    Electrical components sometimes must have all the food sources removed and reintroduced to work properly.  Try to perform a hard reset first, if this does not work then we will move on to the next step.

    To perform a hard reset

    • Shut down the computer by going to the menu start and select shut down. (If you have no display, hold the button for 5 seconds)
    • Unplug the adapter from the laptop.
    • Remove the battery from the bottom of the laptop.  There will be a switch/battery eject button.
    • Wait at least 1 minute with all sources of power disconnected.
    • Reinsert the battery and reconnect the power adapter, and then try to turn on the laptop.

  • Replace keys of discoloration on the keyboard of the Satellite M105-S3084

    Some of the keys on my keyboard M105-S3084 disappeared while they are more readable.
    I replace the keyboard is generally easy (tips?), but where to buy these replacement keys?

    I guess they are different according to the model.

    You can not buy individual keys, they are delicate and can easily break if removed.

    You will need to replace the entire keyboard. Getting a quote from an ASP, keyboards are not very expensive.

  • Can I assign special keys to move the mouse?

    Original title: is there a way I can control (similar to the mouse keys) mouse with key other than the numeric keypad? I would move the mouse and then click on some of the keys of the alphabet.

    I want to do the following:

    Move down with the Q
    Click on with W
    Move down with e.
    Click on with R
    Etc, etc.
    I know a lot about the mouse, key and others, but I do not know how to assign specific tasks to a specific key, especially outside those on the numeric keypad.

    Hi SirFailzAlot,

    You can use your favorite search engine to search for third-party software to do the same thing.

    Note:   software use of third parties, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • manually assign primary key and copy to the detailed form

    Hi experts,

    Oracle Apex 4.2, 11g database, using windows 7.

    I created a form and created automatic product no. (not only sequence) with logic and SQL. SQL query produced good wise exercise, and exercise begin from 01 July and ends 30 June each year. This means if the 07/01/2015 start it will create a new voucher No.

    The main Table name is GL_PV and the columns are:

    Number of PV_No

    Date of PV_Date

    Number of CC_code

    number amount

    Remarks varchar2 (100)

    Created a process to submit before the calculations and validations.

    The codes are

    NVL SELECT (MAX (to_number (nvl(pv_no,0))) + 1, 1) AMENDMENTS

    IN: P15_pv_no

    OF GL_PV

    WHERE pv_date

    BETWEEN to_date (' 01-07-' |) (extract (year from to_date (: P15_pv_date, "dd-mm-yyyy")))

    + case when extracted (month of to_date (: P15_pv_date, "dd-mm-yyyy")) < = end of another 0, then 6-1), "dd-mm-yyyy")

    AND to_date (30 - 06-' |) (extract (year from to_date (: P15_pv_date, "dd-mm-yyyy")))

    (+ case when extracted (month of to_date (: P15_pv_date, "dd-mm-yyyy")) < = 6 then 0 otherwise 1 end), "dd-mm-yyyy")

    and cc_code =: P15_cc_code;

    and press the button when Conditions = Generate_Button

    In the form of master I put the data and click on create button is working well and generating good can result.

    Now that I've created a detail of my detail table is pv_detail and the columns are

    pv_voucher_no

    pv_date

    account_code

    Remarks

    amount

    I want to create the relationship of the master / detail form.

    I tried:

    • primary key and foreign key, but does not. column GL_PV table primary key (PV_NO, PV_DATE), PV_DETAIL (pv_voucher_no, pv_date) foreign key table columns: -.
    • has created one for master and 2nd 2 form for details, good master shape generates but not detail of.

    I want to assign pv_no, pv_date in both value table (master / detail), in other words copy value pv_no and pv_date of main table in detail table pv_voucher_no and pv_date.

    Please advise how I can solve this problem.
