Satellite C850 - remove the functionality of the FN keys

Hello

I have a laptop C850 who has defined as default for some operations, function keys like brightness, sound, enable and disable the touchpad with the * F1 *-* F12 * keys accessible together with the * key to FN.

I can understand why this has been done because the majority of people use no * F1 *-* F12 *.
I do however as a developer.

It's annoying to need to support on * FN * + * F5 * to reload a Web page for example, when I was using just * F5 * during the past 15 years or so, especially as * F5 * on its own turns off the touchpad, or who need to support on * FN * + * Alt * + * F4 * to kill an application instead of just * Alt * + * F4 *.

Is it possible to remove the feature "extended" of these keys and return to the standard * F1 *-* F12 *?

I can unsintall an application or a service that deals with this, or perhaps there is a setting somewhere (I had a quick glance, but can't find it).

I appreciate there are other solutions, for example * Ctrl * + * R * to reload instead of * F5 *, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Toshiba has developed maps flash utility to facilitate the use of some basic stuff. It works with the FN key combination. If you n key press FN t, you can use a standard feature of Fkeys.

When you want to reload the page, you can press F5 only and don touch need FN t at all so I put t understand why don't you write all the time on the FN keys combination.
>... I have been using just F5 during the last 15 years or so, especially if like F5 on its own turns off the touchpad, or needing to press FNAltF4 to kill an application rather than simply AltF4.
It is not truth. You can just press ALT + F4 and you can close some applications. FN, you must use when you only use additional options (specific Toshiba). It is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

If you n t as you can remove the utility Flash cards. It is a part of the VAP (value added package).

  • Satellite A500 - Remove the battery when connected to the network?

    Hello

    I bought a new Satellite 500 and I would use it as much as possible. I'm not sure the stage of development of this battery. Should I remove the battery when I use the laptop at all times with the net supply?
    Or this does not damage the battery longer years yet there is, or is the problem of the destruction of the battery because of the heat and being reloaded frequently persists?

    I'm sorry if I could post to redundantly, but it is difficult to search for information, since I'm not a native speaker.
    I encourage you just for a small tip for a related thread if available.

    Hello

    I can't find the bluetooth on my Satellite C850-1MC feature

    I checked and my laptop is equipped with bluetooth, and indeed, in the past, I saw an icon in the lower right window of my laptop.

    I recently looked to use the bluetooth feature and I'm at a loss in the place where to access it, all my attempts to find it in the control panel have been in vain.

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Bluetooth must be enabled first in order to pair the two devices via Bluetooth.
    To activate the BT, you must use the function keys FN + F12 (This activates and disables the internal Wi - Fi and Bluetooth modules)

  • Satellite L650: With the FN key combinations do not work in W7x64

    Hello

    System

    Satellite L650-1KU

    Part number

    PSK1LE-01700MRU


    I have install Windows by myself - this laptop don't have any operating system from the factory.
    Installed Windows 7 x 64, all drivers and utilities site driver Toshiba for windows 7 x 64 available for my laptop model.

    I have no any unknown device in the Windows Device Manager, all the installed drivers and all hardware components woks fine i.e. camera wifi or bluetooth or web.
    But I still can't use some combinations of keyboard with the key Fn. not all, only five combinations do not work: modes of energy Fn + F2 Fn + F4 hibernation, Fn + 1, 2 zoom and devices wirelles Fn + F8.
    Search, I found only mentions on Fn + 1, zoom 2 - this funtion providing some util named Toshiba Zoom but no any Toshiba download page don't Zoom for my model of laptop and W7.

    Looks like it must have installed some additional tools provider for the manipulation of this combination, but I can't find any soft or extra info on the driver download page.
    Maybe there are a few utils which must be placed in lists of drivers/software for 32-bit windows and it will be very good for 64 bits one?

    All the combinations that works great as volume + Fn + Fn + 4 3 or mute Fn + ESC does not show any popus time of pressing, just functions without any indication.

    Dear users and support, can you help me what should I install utils extra to support the Fn + F2 modes of energy combinations, Fn + F4 Fn + 1, 2 zoom hibernate and Fn + F8 wirelles devices?

    Akuma is right. For the feature keys FN, you install Toshiba Value added Package. This package contains several different applications.

    Try to turn off the laptop, press the s key and use the jet of compressed air to remove dirt or something else which is located under the key.

    First of all sorry if my English is not perfect. I'm from the Italy. Bear with me.

    I have a satellite phone Satellite C855 PSCBYE.
    I formatted my laptop but there is no software Toshiba on this subject.
    So I downloaded HW installation and the Toshiba system settings.

    Then I open 'System Settings---> keyboard' and choose 'special function mode.
    After the reboot, I always have to press "FN" keys f1 to f12.

    I don't like to press FN everytime I have to click on f1, f2, f3 etc.. Is there another way to solve this problem?
    Is there anything else I should download from toshiba?
    Help, please.

    Yes, you can change these settings in the BIOS.

    Press the F2 key while turn on/off the device to access the BIOS and you will find the special function keys mode option

  • Huawei has installed a malware during the installation of the drivers for the wireless modem: tips to remove the registry keys?

    Huawei sd usb storage

    Applies to: Windows | Windows Vista | Hardware and drivers

    A month before, I let a co-worker install a modem Wireless USB as Huawei to use my laptop somewhere without wifi service.  Subsequently, I uninstalled the software drivers because I don't think I'll ever use this modem again.

    Now, I noticed that there are several registry keys for different devices of e/s as:
    Huawei_sd_storage_usb
    and
    Huawei_some other drive type

    None of these registry keys can be deleted, I get an error saying that "year error occurred during an attempt to delete the key.  Same thing if I try to write data in the registry key.  This behavior resembles a persistent virus and not a register legitimate supporting a legitimate PnP device.

    I then rebooted in safe MODE, thinking which should pick up anything the malware is hung.  No go, same thing, cannot remove the key and cannot modify the data in the key.

    None of the malware scanners were able to detect this, including:
    Paid last AVG
    Windows Defender
    Microsoft Security Essential
    Spybot S & D latest
    Malware Microsoft Fixit

    I don't trust Huawei, and what look like these keys are to monitor my laptops I/O activities through any player or the USB port.

    4 GB of DDR, Home Premium Vista 64

    I'm moving your question on the forum of Windows for material and the Drivers.These are the registry keys related to the legitimate drivers provided by the manufacturer of the device and are not related to malware.

    Note, however, that you have an overload of running security software and some should be deleted. If you use Microsoft Security Essentials, you must disable Windows Defender in Vista and AVG should be removed, preferably using the AVG removal tool. I have no idea what is the Microsoft Malware Fixit.

    You should never have more than one security product installed on the PC, providing active protection / scan. This can cause performance problems, system instability and may adversely affect the effectiveness of these two products to provide protection.

  • Periodically remove the registry keys with the Task Scheduler?

    I wonder if it is possible to create a batch script or similar small program to periodically delete the registry keys, specifically:

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
    "PastIconsStream".

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
    "IconStreams".

    A little history on why I want to do this:

    My computer is configured to dual boot (Vista and Fedora Linux), with a score of shared data.  I also use Dropbox for a group of records.  It complicates things with a system dual boot because the folder name is different in each system (vs My Dropbox Dropbox).  I worked around this by creating hubs and symbolic links in each operating system of 'real' folders to default Dropbox folders as appropriate.

    This works as expected. The only problem is that Windows Dropbox does not monitor files for changes and checks only when the program starts.  To work around this problem, I created a small script that kills Dropbox and scheduled to run every half hour using the Scheduler of tasks, followed by a task to start Dropbox.

    The only problem with this is that over time I find myself with hundreds of copies of the Dropbox icon in the status bar Notification area.  I found some instructions to reset the cache of the icon, which is to remove the two above mentioned registry keys and restart the Explorer.  So my question (finally!) is really about if there is a way to automatically reset it one or twice a day, rather than manually deleting the key each time that I remember.

    Of course, if there is a better/more way to deal with this, I'm happy to hear about it!

    Hi Mander,.

    Editing the registry, especially using a batch file and the Planner is, in my opinion, a little dangerous. After all, a bad move a your system registry key could easily be paralyzed.

    I don't really know if my suggestion would be to use or not, but it's worth a try. There is a (free) third-party application called CCleanerwww.ccleaner.com it effectively removes temporary internet files, history, cookies, index.dat file and a host of other things too. An option available in the "Advanced" tab Windows section is to clear the "tray notification cache. Do you think that this is likely to help solve your problem without needing to run a batch file? It's only a suggestion like the registry rated - is not my field, but, like I said the app will costs you nothing and it is certainly worth giving it a try. It can do what you want it to do. Just a suggestion!

    Please let me know as soon as possible.

    I'm not sure that someone here can help you with this. I mean if googling around you can find some standard information. No more than that. In General, some third party software like CPU - Z is good for more information about the hardware.
