How do I customize the Action Keys?

I'm working on a G62-320CA that has five actions keys on the left side (mail, media, web browser, print, and calculator). How do I customize these? They don't open the correct programs.
Thanks,

Here is the reg tweak...for the side one-touch keys (that is what they are called)
Internet Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Appkey\7 "Association"="http" ; Change the string value "http"
Calculator Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\18 "ShellExecute"="calc.exe"; Change the string value "calc.exe"
Email Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Appkey\15 "Association"="mailto" ; Change the string value "mailto"
Cyberlink PowerDVD/Mediasmart Key: HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\MobilePc\HotStartButtons\2 "ApplicationPath" = "C:\Program File(x86)\Cyberlink\PowerDVD9\PowerDVD9.exe"; Change the string value "C:\Program File(x86)\Cyberlink\PowerDVD9\PowerDVD9.exe"

  • How Do I Customize the Key Combination to Cycle Through Windows in Reverse in all Applications?

    How do I customize the key combination to cycle through windows in reverse in all applications?  I want to be able to change the global setting for Command+~ (Cmd+Shft+`) to something more desireable.  I could NOT find a way to do this in Systems Preference -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts since there is not a menu selection "Cycle Through Windows in Reverse".  I then went and looked in the plists DBs of Finders resources hoping to find a setting I could override.  I was quite supprised, as well as some of the MAC gurus in the office, that there was not an easier way to override cycling through windows in reverse on a MacBook - the most user friendly and accessibility aware computer on the market:)
    Here is my MAC software info.
    System Version:  Mac OS X 10.6.7 (10J869)
    Kernel Version:  Darwin 10.7.0

    I don't know of any way to have a separate commandkey combo for the reverse cycle function.
    From the Help pages for OS X 10.6.7 ("Using global keyboard shortcuts") -
    NOTE: You can create keyboard shortcuts only for exisiting menu commands.
    Since the 'reverse' cycle command is not an existing menu item, creating a separate key combo for it doesn't seem possible. Apparently the 'reverse' cycle command is a fixed one, internally defined as a mod of the normal cycle command invoked by adding Shift to its key combo.
    There may be a way to achieve what you want via a two-step process: write an AppleScript that will invoke the 'reverse' key-combo set, then link the activation of the AppleScript to a key combo of your choosing. Not sure if this is even possible, though - usually AppleScript activation via keyboard would be set up via an FKey.
    I can understand wanting to share the RSI risk evenly between both hands, or even to unload the left hand if that is desirable. However, apparently a two-key combo can't be done for the reverse cycle function. Is a three-key combo not possible? ...meaning a two-key combo on the right (Command plus something) for normal cycling, adding Shift for reversing?
    One caution about changing keyboard command combos - it's very easy to accidentally set up a conflict with a another existing commandkey set. FWIW, most, if not all, of the mnemonic and easily-reached letters are already used. In this vein, the Keyboard Shortcuts page of the Keyboard prefs pane shows such conflicts via a yellow caution triangle next to the conflictors.

  • How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

    I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
    My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
    Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
    Thanks.

    This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
    You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
    English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
    You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
    The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
    I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

  • How do i customize the "tile" on the first page of Wiki Server 4 on OS X Server?

    How do i customize the "tile" on the first page of Wiki Server 4 on OS X Server?
    The title says "OS X Server" and i want it to say something else... How can i do that?

    Ok... i did some digging around... and struck gold.
    The digging part is not for the "faint of heart" since the Terminal is your best friend and some coding knowledge is involved. Suffice to say my trip in Wiki Server 4 land led me through Ruby on Rails code. I was surprised to find that i'm able to read ruby code, and i don't know Ruby at all. After looking through Model Views and Controllers i figured out the solution was simpler than i anticipated.
    To modify the title on the first page you need to edit a .strings file. You need to use the download version (not the mac app store app) of TextWrangler or some other editor that allows Authenticated Saves (save files as other users). Make sure the Wiki service is off... the slider in the server app is off.
    The location of the file depends on your language locale that you use:
    /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/collabd/coreclient/locale s/en.lproj
    where "en" can be either de, es, fr, it, ja, ko, nl, zh_CN, zh_TW depending on your wiki language.
    First()you need to right click on the file and "Get Info" and adjust the permissions temporarily for "Everyone" to "Read and Write".
    Open the file in TextWrangler and find the key general.os_x_server and under it you can modify the string "OS X Server" to anything you want "My own company Wiki".
    Save()the file.
    Second()you need to right click on the file and "Get Info" and adjust the permissions temporarily for "Everyone" back to just "Read".
    Move()the slider in the Server App to On again for the wiki.
    Enjoy!!!

  • How can I customize the UI shell close tab behaviour?

    I am using JDevelepor 11.1.2.1.0 Version
    I Am New In ADF
    How can I customize the UI shell close tab behaviour? When i close the tab I ned to rollback the transaction else where when reopen the taskflow it show an error message duplicate key..
    So how i can handle?

    Download the sample at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2012/12-mar/o22adf-1518265.html . frank states -
    The CustomerOrdersCRUD-btf task flow in the BoundedTaskFlows.jws workspace accompanying this sample, for example,
    uses the tabContext reference to close the tab displaying the task flow upon rollback and commit—which also is when the task flow is exited.
    In addition, when data changes are performed within a task flow, the tab’s dirty state is changed to indicate to the template that the tab title needs to be shown in italics.

  • How to find out the primary key of oracle apps tables

    Hii,,
    My Question is How to find the primary key in the apps table...Is there any Query or other way to find out???
    for eg.
    I want to find out the primary key of the AP_INVOICES_ALL table...just tell me how can i get the primary key of this table.
    I am currently using toad for the query..
    Please guide me...

    you can define the primary key when you create table
    or add the primary key after the table creation by 'ALTER TABLE ... ADD constraint pk_nme primary key (col1, col2)';
    you could use below sql to check the detail of primary key:
    1) check out the table definition directly:
    select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','EMP') FROM DUAL;
    2) check out the columns of primary key:
    select * from user_constraints where constraint_type='P' AND table_NAME='EMP';
    select * from user_cons_columns where CONSTRAINT_NAME='PK_EMP';And BTW, it is madam, not sir. :)

  • How do I customize the login page?

    Hi, floks:
    How do I customize the login page?
    Can I just create a page with login portlet in it? what do I put as on Success URL,
    if I choose to go to the home page?
    thanks.
    null

    You can create a page and add a login portlet to it.Make it accesible to public.
    change the default page of the user "public" to the page you have created.(by default it is WELCOME)
    if there is an error in the user name or the password entered the portal still navigates to the default single-sign on page.(You have not changed the sign on page still)
    To change this page look at on-line help.

  • How do I get the fn key on the aluminum keyboard to work like Insert under Windows?

    How do I get the fn key on the aluminum keyboard to work like Insert under Windows without having to press fn + Enter?
    This article explains the problem but has no real solution:
    Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support

    I'm not sure if you even read the first couple of posts at all. On the old Apple Pro Keyboard (white keys and translucent body), pressing the Help key resulted in exactly the same key code as the Insert key on any standard (IBM) PC keyboard. This meant that regarding this key, that Mac keyboard will work just like a PC keyboard. (I don't care much about the other keys.)
    The problem is that on the current Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (white low-profile chicklet keys, ultra-slim aluminum body), the Help key is now called fn and produces a different key code than the old Help key, so that you have to press fn + Enter (on the numerical keypad) to get Insert.
    This page explains the problem:
    Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support
    Do you understand what I mean? It's not a software thing, it's a hardware issue in the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, because fn is a hard-coded, not software-controlled modifier key. I have no idea if there is even a way to get around that, and that is what I am trying to find out.

  • How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP?

    How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP? When I right click on the menu bar the "Customize..." option is there but it does absolutely nothing.
    Which brings me to the rhetorical question as to why it was necessary to shuffle everything around, was it broken? Did it not work? Since 2006 I've moved my mouse pointer almost instinctively to the left side of the screen, now all of a sudden I have to go right, is there a point?
    This is like supermarkets that as soon as you have figured out where everything is, they shuffle everything around and now you are stuck in mystery shopping. At least they have economic reasons. Meanwhile Firefox seems disposed to make itself look more like Chrome, but hey if I wanted Chrome I'd get it.

    Nope... Thanks, but Safe Mode does not do the trick. Oh sure you can move the buttons around and rearrange things to your liking, unfortunately it does not stay that way once you get out of Safe Mode.
    I guess if you use an XP machine you are doomed to use FF's interpretation of what it should look like, which is ass backwards from what it has been for the past FIVE YEARS!!! Why not? It seems XP users are now the Freddo's of computing.
    Someone should go to you developer's homes move everything around, forks in the basement, beds in the bathroom, TV up in the attic with the mice, dining table outside on the porch, see how you like it.

  • Qosmio F50 - How do I bring the Fn-Keys and Hotkeys to work on Windows XP?

    Hello.
    I downgraded my Qosmio F50-137 to XP, found every driver needed for hardware recognition, but am still looking for the Fn-Keys and Hotkeys to work.
    I know (or at least think) that I have to install the "Toshiba Hotkey Utility".
    But this utility needs the "Toshiba common module" for Windows XP to be installed.
    I fond on the web two common modules for Windows XP:
    common_modules_2489A
    and
    common_modules_24895A
    The first one says "This software utility does not support this system.Installation will be terminated"
    The second one says "TVALZ driver installation has failed"
    How can I make the installation work properly? or How can I make the Fn-Keys and Hotkeys work on my F-50 ?
    Thank you in advance

    Ok sorry for not answering the questions but I have to find a webpage to answer a few things...
    {quote:title=I said:}I've found the XP drivers of other components for my computer on the Toshiba European driver page {quote}
    But I'm not sure it was there, since going there and trying to find the page again drove me to the normal driver page.
    I'm asking your help me finding the page where:
    - You choose your computer in a column by type and then the next column apperar (on it's right), until you have selected your computer, and a button "choose now" appear.
    - When you click this last button, you land in a page where you have more drivers than in the normal driver page of toshiba (for me I had the option of Windows XP, while I don't have it on the normal page)
    - I'm preety sure it was on the toshiba-website, but I don't remember how to find this page again... And since I already formatted...
    I'll continue looking if I can find it again, if someone knows this page, please tell me/us...
    thank you in advance.

    Dear Customer Service Team,
    I bought a twelve-month Dreamweaver CC program with monthly payment that I have paid via bank transfer and there would be a question about the activation. How could I get the license key with which I can activate my account? I can not find it and now I only have access to the trial version.
    Thank you for your help in advance.
    Kind Regards,

    There is no serial number require for Creative Cloud products, you may activate the products using your email address and password which is associated with Adobe. If your Dreamweaver asking for serial number, then make sure you are signing in with correct email address.
