Changing the function of the 'windows' key

Hi, I somehow changed the 'windows' key from taking me directly to the start screen, to take me to the desktop instead. I do not remember how I did this and cannot find the setting. How can I change this back so that when I push the windows button on the keyboard and just below the screen it will take me first to the start screen?? Thank you in advanced!
Cheers,
Jon

Double check the system preferences for Speech and Universal Access to make sure this key did not get assigned as a trigger for a special function.

  • Is there a possibility to switch off in Firefox the functionality of quick launch key (additional key in laptop) that cause to run the homepage

    Dear Support,
    Is there a possibility to switch off in Firefox the functionality of quick launch key (additional key in laptop) that cause to run the homepage. I would like to switch this functionality off, because the key is malfunctioned and always pressed. I was able to switch off the functionality of this key in Windows system by deleting entries in registry Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey. After this change, when somebody works in system the Firefox is not running is not launching all the time. But when I open the Firefox the setting in system is overwritten and when I am using it Firefox returns to the homepage instantly. I think because of this quick launch button. I tried to change settings in about:config like browser.startup.homepage, browser.startup.homepage_override, startup.homepage_override_url,… this is for Firefox version is 10.0.2
    Thank you
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    Thank you for your interesst.
    This internet button key is one of buttons located above the keyboard near the power button. What I have achieved to this moment was to stop it functionality in the system by clearing the entries in the fields Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\17\ShellExecute and entry
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7\Association that was http
    After these changes in registry the behavior of the button was suppressed, the Firefox stopped to start unexpectedly all the time – so in system it works. But the problem is still when I have opened Firefox. Every time when you want to surf in internet – the homepage is activated also unexpectedly. I wrote this post with intention to ask if there is a possibility to switch off the functionality of this quick launch button in Firefox. Because I assume Firefox overrides the system setup – this I have made in registry. I tried with some option changes in about:config but without success. And I know that for older versions of firefox was some option in about:config do disable_quick launch button. But in 10.0.2 I couldn't locate it.
    Thank you

  • VERY Disappointed-just upgraded from 12 to 13 and the functionality of the Organizer has completely changed

    I have been a long time user of Photoshop elements/Premier and I just loaded version 13 (from 12) and they have completely changed the functionality of the organizer!  OMG!!!!!  You can no longer move a picture easily in the albums and you MUST use one of the Adobe preset backgrounds for a slide show.  Really???  Generally I like the templates for certain uses but I am creating long movies of travels.  I do NOT want your backgrounds, but apparently I have no choice.  And I can no longer interface with Premier - then why did you sell them to me as a package?
    I am sure I can't get my money back because I did a direct download but I have uninstalled the program and gone back to version 12 - BUYER BEWARE if you have been using Premier with the organizer it will not work seamlessly.  Such a disappointment because a good and generally well functioning program has been butchered.  .

    I've just looked to buy iCab as people have suggested but reviews suggest it doesn't work reliably since IOS5.
    Frankly I feel cheated and I've been a historic fan since having an Apple IIci 20 years ago. A major plus point in iPad usability has gone. Funilly enough I was about to recommend 25 iPads as Safari was so useable and the users I had in mind having seen my iPad were keen. But I couldn't hand on heart recommend iPads now and after seeing how Apple drops key functionality and usability wouldn't trust this supplier. Guess I'm glad I didn't recommend them and then have this happen.
    And if I want tabs I'd have gone with Andriod for half the price.
    It wouldn't be so bad if I could reverse the upgrade.
    Anyone know how to cheat the system?

  • The function of the F keys at the top of my keyboard no longer work as they used to. How do I restore their old function?

    The function of the F keys at the top of my keyboard no longer work as they used to. The actions they do no longer correspond to the symbols that are printed on them. For example, the volume buttons no longer control volume and now change the display to full-screen instead, and the brightness buttons don't do anything at all.
    This started today and I'm finding it very irritating. I checked in System Preferences and didn't find any obvious way to turn most of them back to what they used to do.
    Help?

    In System Preferences > Keyboard uncheck Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.

    I just purchased my first iPad (the new one) and a wireless keyboard. Is there a keyboard usage manual available anywhere that shows the functions of the keys? The info that came with the keyboard was very basic and my searches have been unsuccessful.

    If you are using a Bluetooth keyboard on your iPad device, you should take advantage of the keyboard shortcuts for quicker access to copy, cut, paste, undo, redo, and other commands.
    Command + C : Copy Selected Text
    Command + V : Paste
    Command + X: Cut Selected Text
    Command + Z: Undo
    Command + Shift + Z: Redo
    Command + Delete: Delete everything to the left of the cursor on the current line
    Option + Delete: Delete the word to the left of the cursor
    Command + Up Arrow: Go to top of document
    Command + Down Arrow: Go to bottom of document
    Command + Left Arrow: Go to beginning of current line
    Command + Right Arrow: Go to end of current line
    F1: Dim screen
    F2: Brighten screen
    F7: Back one song
    F8: Play/pause song
    F9: Skip song
    F10: Mute
    F11: Decrease volume
    F12: Increase volume

  • What is the function of the Slice and number 4 LUTs in cRIO9104 FPGA?

      When I compiled the FPGA VI, the compliation report tell me that there is limitation of the resources pf FPGA, the FPGA that I am using is cRIO9104.  Do you know what is the function of the slice and number 4 LUTs in FPGA? Which FPGA LAbVIEW code need to use these FPGA resources?  And I have attached the compliation report for you as a reference.
      Thank you for your helping!

    You've simply got too much code to fit the available resources on that one particular FPGA, just as the error message says. I would take the error message's recommendations, or split up the functionality into two FPGA's.
    By the way, LUTs are lookup tables, one way the compiler implements your code. Slices are areas that run independently (general case) of any other slice and how the FPGA achieves true parallel processing.

    Upgraded to LR5.7 and PS Elements 13.  Using a Solid State Drive which is becoming Full! Can I remove older versions of these programs without affecting the functionality of the new programs?

    Yes, there is no need to keep previous versions of software on the SSD (or on your computer).
    Also, you didn't mention this but if the photos are on the SSD, you should move them off the SSD to a regular hard disk using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • What does the function of the TLV 132 in LSP ?

    In ISIS protocol,what is the function of the TLV 132 in LSP? It seems like routers choose the latest active interface on the box,is it right ?

    Hello WL,
    the TLV 132 is present in hello packets but also on the LSP both L1 and L2 and contains the ip address(es) of the transmitting interface
    As explained in the previous post this TLV allows the receiving router(s) to perform a check of adjancency validity from the point of view of IPv4.
    Probably the TLV 132 is present in the LSP for two reasons:
    for completeness and for providing a fast check about the usage of the LSP.
    The LSP indeed is a list of TLVs so implementation can also be a little redundant here by putting all TLVs into the LSP.
    This also means that the LSP sent out each interface is different in TLV 132 field.
    You can see with sh isis database detail that each LSP contains a list of IP subnets and associated metric costs this can come from a list of TLV 132.
    TLV 128-132 are defined in RFC1195 for IP routing with IS-IS.
    IP Interface Address -- the IP address(es) of the interface
    corresponding to the SNPA over which this PDU is to be transmitted.
    x CODE - 132
    x LENGTH - total length of the value field (four octets per address).
    x VALUE -
    It is TLV 128 that provides metric info for IP.
    Hope to help

  • Can someone explain the functionality of the 50-pin connector inside the SCXI-1600 board

    Hello,
    please explain the functionality of the 50-pin connector inside the SCXI-1600 board.
    I would like to have the pinouts (explanation) of this particular connector
    kind regards
    the lab mouse

    Hi,
    Using the SCXI-1600 for anything other than controlling a SCXI chassis is NOT supported by NI!
    The SCXI-1600 is based on a 16-bit MIO board. There is some additional functionality that is not used while controlling the SCXI chassis. The SCXI-1600 has 8 analog input channels, 8 DIO channels, and 2 counters; there is no analog output support on this board. There is a 50-pin connector inside the SCXI-1600 that can be used to access all of these channels.
    Through Daqmx and Internal I/O filtering you can access these channels trough software. There is no pin-layout available because we do not support this.
