How to disable the F1 key HELP

How to disable the F1 help key in windows vista

There is no way to do this under Vista.  It is possible that some 3rd party programs won't work - but most don't work with some keys and function keys are often not included.   I spent almost an hour to research and come up with only the following (and that cause extremely advanced registry editing that I have does not feel comfortable recommending that even I would have trouble following him).

Here is a program which doesn't specifify no limitation (although this means not it not all):http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/map-any-key-to-any-key-on-windows-xp-vista/.  You can do a test to see if it does the trick.

If this is not the case, look for "keyboard remapping in Vista" in Bing, Google, www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if you can find a program that works (and works with Vista).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro P - how to disable the hot keys for camera assistant?

    Is it possible, and how, to disable the shortcut keys for the camera wizard?

    The default keys interfere with shortcuts of Microsoft Office (Word) - for example Alt + F9 to show/hide codes field to turns on the properties of camera assistant, Alt + 10 screen settings of camera etc.

    So go to start-run-msconfig online online
    Go to the Startup tab and disable the camera software. Restart the computer laptop and that s all!

  • How to disable the hot keys on HP TouchSmart tm2?

    My little sister to complain about the way she can't play his game with the hot keys on this laptop. It gets really annoying too. I tried the search methods in Google on how to turn them off, but I couldn't always find something. I just shortcut keys to be activated by default, not with the stuff of control.

    Yes. In the BIOS.

    Which is generally accessible by pressing the power button and pressing the ESC key, then press F10. Look in the tab of the system configuration.

  • How to disable the 'backspace' key to navigate back to a page?

    Several times during the last two weeks, I type up a very well thought answer on Facebook in political conversations with friends. An hour or two in my work, I struck back with the intention to edit what I wrote (perhaps after I scroll or something, then maybe I unintentionally took out of the home, the editing window). The browser takes back me a page and I lose my two hours of work. Exasperating! Shortcuts with the possibility to erase two hours of work should be able to disable. Not only that, I feel a dangerous shortcut for this same reason, which would have added a SHIFT modifier key, or something like that. I think that I invented a cool word: disable-able.

    You can set the integer pref browser.backspace_action at 2 on the topic: config page to disable rollback action. BTW, shift + return back do the reverse: move forward if possible, so that is taken as well.

  • HP Probook 650 G1: How to disable the keys way to Probook 650 G1 running Windows 7, 64-bit

    I just bought a HP Probook G1, intel i7 650 - 4600 m, system BIOS 01.34-08/28/2015, keyboard review KBC 16.3 C version.

    ESC and F1 through F12 function keys seem to be in the Mode of action key (for example flight gives HP, F6 system information allows you to change the audio levels, etc.)- and I prefer to keep the standard functions of these keys (for shortcuts in Word and Excel, also for Express Scribe transcription software).

    I found Ctrl + Fn + the function key corresponding is workaround to achieve some (but not all) the standard functions - but which is cumbersome when used frequently. Workaround doesn't seem to work for the ESC key.

    I saw a few tips on how to disable the Mode keys on some laptops HP - eg
    http://support.HP.com/au-en/document/c02035108

    - and I have used this method on the previous laptop HP (e.g. Pavilion G6), but it does not work for this Probook. The configuration screen of the BIOS on my new machine does not seem to show the key Action Mode (or same System Configuration) as an option.

    I would be grateful for suggestions.

    Problem is now resolved, thanks to HP Technical Support phone line. Their tips were:

    * go to the BIOS Setup in the usual way (shut down, then power on, press ESC, choose F10 for Bios configuration)

    * Choose the Information System

    * arrow above to advance

    * Choose the Configuration of the device

    * Uncheck the Fn key switch

    * Save, etc.

    The corresponding option is more referred to Action Mode button for this model of HP laptop, at least not for the version of BIOS this Probook 650 G1 (worm 1.36, 25/04/2016).
