Thinkpad Yoga - disable f12 beep on boot

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to fully disable system beeps on the Thinkpad Yoga. In particular I'm interested in disabling the loud beep that you hear by pressing the f12 key on start up (in order to open the boot menu).
Thank you

Hi
As far as I know you cannot disable this in the BIOS.
But the F12 boot menu option belongs to the BIOS and maybe you could secure this setting using the supervisor or user password.
Please check the Toshiba preinstalled Toshiba Assist and there go to tab Secure.
There you will find the tools for user or supervisor password.

Can it be possible to disable outlook anywhere for some few users who are working from home ?

One of my customer wants to disable outlook anywhere for some of the users who are working from home.They have exchange server 2013 in their premises and also have outlook 2010/2013 on their clients machine.Please advice?

Hi,
In Exchange 2013, all Outlook connectivity (Internal and External) are using Outlook Anywhere anyways. It is not recommended to use the following command to disable Outlook Anywhere for a specific user:
Set-CASMailbox UserA -MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHttp $True
If you disable it, the UserA would not be able to access the mailbox from both Internal Outlook client (Office) and external Outlook client (Home).
For your requirement about disable Outlook anywhere for some few users instead of all external users, there seems to be no method to achieve it directly in Exchange server. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Lenovo G580 boot menu is not working when pressing F2 and F12 key

QuestionI bought a new Lenovo G580 series laptop. After installation of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit edition, a problem revealed when Lenovo driver get installed.
When I installed Intel HD 3000 graphics driver and restarted laptop, the Window was unable to start normally. It displayed an error, so a recovery program started which was recommended. But this program failed to resolve the problem. Later, I tried again to load Windows normally but the blue screen fatal error showed up.
I attempted to reinstall Windows again, but after restarting window, the boot menu was not showing up after pressing F12 key. F2 key was also not working either.
I spoke to a Lenovo techincal assistance expert and they suggested me to remove battery and charger and press start key for 30 seconds.
My problem still remains the same, and I am unable to access boot menu.
The bios version is 62cn34ww. ls there a way I can get this running again?
AnswerPlease take note that the suggestion below is just a troubleshooting guide. If the steps could not fix the issue, you need to send you machine in for service for further assistance.
Try removing the hard disk , then press F2 button to enter BIOS
If you are successful in entering the bios, pleaes load set up defaults
Save setting by pressing F10 and shut the machine down
Connect the hard drive back and check if can enter BIOS via F2 and F12 to see boot menu

Statellite C850-F0055 F12 key doesnt access Bios setup

Statellite C850-F0055 was failing to boot.it was saying check media (fail).
i then change the boot from normal to fast boot.Since then, its saying
"NO bootable device---- please restart system"
When i press F12 key at booting it doesnt bring the bios setup.
how do i change it back to normal from fast boot so it can bring bios setup. please help.

>When i press F12 key at booting it doesnt bring the bios setup.
This is wrong key. You have to press F2 in order to access the BIOS.
By the way: even if the fast boot would be enabled, the unit should find the HDD and should be able to boot up the Windows system. So I guess its not a problem with the fast boot switch but probably the HDD isnt OK.
I recommend you to access the BIOS (F2) and to check if HDD is visible on the first BIOS page.

Is it possible to temporary disable F1-F12 keys?

I have apple aluminum keyboard and when I work in FCP I can't use F-keys. E.g. F10 mutes volume instead of overwrite editing and F3 calls Expose.
But I don't want to permanently disable this keys. I want to find a way to fast switch between setting. Cause when I am not editing I like to use this F-keys for controlling volume, iTunes etc.
Actually now I have small Apple-script which I mapped to hotkey (via Quicksilver) whicj I use to switch Expose settings. But I didn't find any way to script other F-keys.
Any ideas?
Thx!

I've found script!
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=383969
But I had to change some strings to localized versions.
This script raises SysPrefs and clicks checkbox.
How do you think, is it possible to find some other way of scripting this checkbox to avoid raising sysprefs window? Cause I want to toggle this checkbox even more faster! :)))

How to disable F1 to F12 keys in Web Browser when SWF file is in focus

Hi all,
Im running / loading a swf file in IE. I want to disable the
function keys ( F1- F12 keys) in IE as I have defined special
functions for these keys in my swf / flash file.Im using a
javascript code to do this and the javascript code is working
correctly.But the problem starts when the swf file is in focus,
when swf file is in focus and if I press the F3 key the search of
IE opens, but I have defined a special function in my swf file for
this key, here the IE is overriding and it's taking the precedence
in the event handling this is what I want to disable.So that I can
catch the event in SWF file or get the Key code and run the my
function defined for the key.
Thanks.

When testing my applets on a Linux Web site Im finding that I have to totally exit the browser, then open up a new browser session to see the updates on my applets. Yes. Applets can be horrible for caching. I am surprised that exiting and restarting the browser works. I usually clear the cache in the Java Console.
..The refresh button on the browser wont show the new version of the jar file program. I find this consistent with Firefox, MS Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome.
Is there some type of browser option that will allow the next jar version to be run without having to exit out of the browser to see it?
No, but if the Java Console is open, it is pretty easy to force a refresh of the classes.
As an aside, for a more general solution for your end users, look to launch the app. using [Java Web Start|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/index.jsp] . Updates are reliable and automatic.
Thanks in advance for any comments on this.No worries (in advance).
Note that my reply would have been sooner, except that I felt compelled to get that matter of the link in your post dealt with, before commenting.

W520 & Windows 8 - Is it possible to disable the Caps Lock Key?

Hello All:
I have a W520 running the 64 bit Window 8 Pro OS.
Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the CAPS LOCK key on the ThinkPad keyboard? I keep hitting this key by mistake (fat fingers, I guess) when using the laptop keyboard, and it is a PITA.
When I have the W520 docked and I am using an external (Microsoft hardware) keyboard, I can disable the CAPS LOCK key on the external keyboard using Microsoft's keyboard control panel application. But, this application doesn't appear to support disabling the CAPS LOCK key on the keyboard embedded in the W520.
All suggestions will be gratefully received.
Michael
W520 (4270 CTO), which replaced a W500 (4062-27U), which replaced a T42P, which replaced an A21P...

You cant technically disable it, BUT you can go to settings>General>Auto Lock - Never
The screen will never dim and you wont have to slide to unlock - but keep in mind this will drain the battery much faster since the back light is constantly on.

How can I disable a key through software?

A friend of mine spilt water on her keyboard. As a result, her forward slash key frequently spams and makes typing difficult. I used a program to remap the forward slash key to a forward delete key, but that has also caused problems. What I'm looking for is a program that will allow me to completely disable a key.
I should note, I've used KeyRemap4Macbook and I've also developed my own code, which disables the key on Cocoa applications. However, the key still spams on applications like Microsoft Word.
Her Macbook is more than a year old, and she can't afford to buy a new one.
Any suggestions?

Liquid in a physical keyboard is great trouble. You may worsen state if you continue to use it like this, make the effort to change it. It is not cheap, but may prove cheaper than damage the whole computer.

What value to put in for a preference in the about:config forlder that would allow me to use the f12 key to enable/disable a firefox add-on.

Im trying to set it up so hitting the F12 key will enable/disable Addblock Plus because their are some web sites I need it disabled completely on.
The preference is already there in the about:config screen but the value is left blank for you to fill in if you want to use the feature.
I just need to know what value would represent pressing the F12 Key

'''F12''' is what you need as the string Value for '''extensions.adblockplus.enable_key'''

My kids use firefox on my computer. Is it possible to disable the private browsing feature so they can not go on and use it ?

I want the computer to keep a history of all the site they have searched, but can not know for sure if they turn on/off the private browsing function. Is it possible to disable the private browsing function and put a lock / password on it ?
Thanks,
David

Even if it was possible to remove or disable "Private Browsing" then that still won't make it impossible to delete private data like visited websites (history) or cache or cookies.<br />
There are a lot of ways to clear such data, either via [[Clear Recent History]] or directly by deleting the History in the Library or sidebar.<br />
Private Browsing makes it easier because all data is kept in memory and nothing is saved to disk, so nothing needs to be removed.<br />
<br />
If you want to see which sites have been visited then you should look at others means outside Firefox like a router or firewall with a password protected logging feature that can't be bypassed or a program like Wireshark.
