How to disable the shortcut of Windows 8 F1

Whenever I click on F1 he opens Windows Help and Support. I read on the forums about how to to disable it but none for Windows 8. I need the F1 key for games.

KleinC,

If you press the ESC key when you turn on the computer, it should give you a start menu.

Select Configuration of the BIOS (F10). This will take you to a configuration utility. Arrow during setup of the system.

You should now have the option to disable the action keys.

Here is a link that will show you how to disable the action keys.

I would like to know how everything goes.

    How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6

    Welcome to the forum, Sally.

    There are several ways to do this - method you choose may depend on what you need to accomplish.

    Follow a few ideas.

    • A double tap farm in the upper left corner of the touch pad if it off for a single session.

    Enable / disable

    Control Panel > display icon > mouse > Settings of TouchPad > click on "enable TouchPad.

    They continue parameters to install and configure the TouchPad as you like it...

    ==========================================================================

    A method that works with the pilots 'old', it is a failure of session by session...

    Make sure this setting is ON / CHECKED:

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    () repeat) TouchPad settings (button) > click tapping >

    Click the shimmering blue wheel

    In "box to Disable TouchPad settings".

    CHECK "Double Tap to activate / disable the TouchPad.

    In the 'Action in the upper left'

    CHECK "Disable the TouchPad during a session.

    Close

    Ok


    NOTE that, if it is available on your version, you can select to "turn off the TouchPad" - that's fine, unless something goes wrong.  You could get stuck without your USB mouse AND no way to return to the setting to activate the touchpad.  I don't know if I would use this setting.

    ======================================================================================

    Next...
    Latest drivers (V16.x) have the ability to disable the TouchPad / click on the keypad with a setting on the main page 'Settings' when a USB mouse is used.  This is a very nice feature.

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    CHECK "disable the pointing device internal when the external USB pointing device is attached.

    If you want to be alerted and see a visual cue of disability >

    TICK "Animated icon in the taskbar" >

    and make sure you have your updated task bar notifications so you can see the view of the mouse.

  • How to disable the VirtualStore in Windows 7?

    Tell me why I should leave it or what it does. I know what he does. It prevents my application to work correctly. The application must be able to read/write files in their ACTUAL location, not in their virtual store. Disable UAC on Vista it kills, but in 7, it isn't. How can I disable this feature of AWFUL bug [s] [s]?

    The application is shared on the network and have the machine hosting on windows 7 means that the host cannot run the application because it won't work 'live' data.

    Thank you microsoft, again, you know exactly what the program or the user wants to do better than them. >:(

    The way to disable in vista and 7 (which does not disable the UAC in vista) is to use the TAKE OWNERSHIP permission (google it and get the reg file to add it to your right click menu) to take charge of the case. Then give desired of all users full access to the folder, windows will be stop duplication in and working outside your store.

    No, thank you to everyone who came and told me I didn't know what I was doing / did not feature (BUG) / should not turn it off.

    I write the answer to help those who agree with me that this virtual store is nonsense. And this happening to a computing device rather than a computer is also ridiculous. I want an OS, not a computing device. If I wanted a computing device I would buy a mac.

  • How to disable the pop up "Windows Media Player cannot download the information on the media... "after the extraction of a CD without activation of network connectivity.

    When I copy a CD with Windows Media Player, I get the message pop up after the investigation period is over: "Windows Media Player cannot download the media for this CD information. The other titles, artist, and album will be identified as "Unknown" in your library. For best results, connect to the Internet or manually add media for CD information. »

    I know that the message appears when I turn on the setting to allow WMP to connect to the internet to get information about the media, but I don't want WMP does. What I want is a button I can push on the pop-up that says "don't show this message again" (similar to the warnings seen in internet explore). How can I disable this pop-up window without activating the internet connection option.

  • How to disable the feature in Windows 7 to change all downloaded files for underscores instead of spaces in the name?

    I'm having a problem where any file I download from the internet is modifed by Windows 7.  Underscores instead of spaces added.  I use IE 8 32-bit on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.   This issue is causing users a problem because most of our Applications are Web applications, and there are a lot of files that must be downloaded for reports or the import feature.

    Is their a solution to this problem/bug in Windows 7?  To review other forums on the Net, it seems that the change occurs because any file from a website hosted server must not have any spaces because it cannot be accepted if used in a URL.

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
