How to remap individual keys in Windows 7

Hi all
Received my new W510 yesterday and still discovering
I bought it in the US but live in the UK, so have changed the regional settings to UK.  Now, however (and as expected) some keys don't match up, e.g. the " and @ is switched etc.
How do I change/remap individual keys in Windows 7?
Thanks for any help,

if it doesn't work, bios editing will remap the key ( but editing bios will void the warranty.also, you need to have enough knowledge about bios editing. )

  • E71: how to remap keyboard keys

    Hi!
    I was wondering whether there is a way to remap the keys on the qwerty keyboard on E71. I basically want a different layout. Is there any system utility I could use, buy, etc.?
    The reason I want this is because a standard native Russian keyboard ("jetsukeng" as it is called) is something I am not used to. I prefer a phonetic keyboard sometimes called "yawerty", so I'd like to use it on E71.
    Thanks in advance,

    Maybe something like Magic Key? http://bit.ly/grQHq
    My experience with Magic Key has been pretty good, on my E71, although I'm not remapping a whole lot of keys. I remap a few keys, so they function differently, depending on which application is active.

  • How to remap keyboard - Looking to switch the "fn" and "control" buttons?

    Hi I was looking for a way to switch the function and control on the bottom left side of the keyboard on my macbook pro laptop. I am used to the control button being the button that is furthest to the left and its just really throwing me off having the fn key all the way to the left. If anyone knows how to remap these keys, I would really appreciate the help.
    Thank you.

    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
    * Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
    * Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    * Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

  • How to decrypt data when you can't get the private key in Windows?

    I'm very confuse. My english is poor, but I try to say my question clearly.
    When browser connects to a https website which needs client certificate to authenticate the identity, the browser will send client certificate to web server.
    Then the web server will use the certificate to encrypt some data and send it to browser.
    Then broswer should have private key to decrypt that.
    But as I know, if I install a pfx format personal certificate, I can set can't export private key, which means you can't get the private key to use it. So how can
    the browser decrypt the data without private key?
    By the way, what is CSP, use CSP's interface can we use CryptoAPI
    to decrypt data without private key?

    Answer for question is  "you cant"..

  • Remapping the Fn key in Windows   * a solution *

    Howdy,
    If you own a Mac and you're running Windows via Boot Camp, it's likely that you've noticed that there are problems with the operation of the Fn key. Because the keyboard doesn't have a Delete key, it's extremely annoying that you can't use Fn+Backspace in order to get the Delete function.
    As discussed in this thread it's possible to remap normal keys on your keyboard with a remapping tool like AutoHotKey. Unfortunately this application doesn't recognize the Fn key by default, so you're still stuck with other key combinations like Command+Backspace = Delete.
    I don't use Boot Camp on my MacBook, but I do have a PC with Windows XP. I recently purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard, which is basically identical to my MacBook keyboard. Using it in Windows is no problem, but the Fn and Eject key both don't work. So I suppose the problem is the same for users of Windows through Boot Camp.
    First I used AutoHotKey to remap Command+Backspace to Delete. But I couldn't get over the fact that there were two keys that I couldn't use. So I kept looking for a solution, and finally found one. Using a DLL file for adding support for Human Interface Devices, written by one of the AHK forum members, I was able to get a response back from my Fn and Eject key. I wrote a script that let's you alter the behavior of the Fn key, so it will act as a modifier.
    At this point my Fn key is fully functional, and I mapped all the basic OS X functions so they can be used in Windows. So whether I'm using Leopard on my MacBook or Windows on my PC, everything is the same. This means:
    Fn+Backspace = Delete
    Fn+F10 = Mute/Unmute
    Fn+F11 = Volume Down
    Fn+F12 = Volume Up
    Eject key ejects my drive (without or with a delay just as in OS X)
    And so forth.
    Because the Fn key question is a common problem for a lot of people, I decided to write a full guide explaining every step of the way in full detail. The guide can be found right here:
    Mystery of the Fn key - A guide to remapping the Fn key in Windows
    The DLL used to retrieve information from the Fn and Eject key has already been used for many other purposes, and made it possible to map a lot of different keys on many different keyboards and other devices like mice and remote controls. By doing so it has proven its worth, and I'm sure that you'll be able to get your Fn key and other special keys working just fine. Whether it's on your Mac using Boot Camp, on a PC with using a keyboard with special hotkeys or on a PC notebook. The guide is based on remapping my Apple Wireless Keyboard, so at least I'm sure that it'll work for Apple keyboards.
    Feedback on my guide and script and whether you succeeded remapping your Fn and Eject key is much appreciated.
    Good luck!

    Well I tried but none of the settings recognized Fn nor Eject on my MBP (penryn w/ OSX and Vista). I even ran through dozens of possible Usage/Page combinations. My other keys were recognized and so what my mouse/trackpad. But not Fn and Eject.
    As you state in the write-up "If your key isn't recognized by one of the devices and their settings as listed in the application, it's unfortunately not likely that you'll get your key to work."
    Thanks anyway. I really thought I found the answer in this thread...
    oh well.

  • How do use startdard function key in windows?

  • How to listen a key event without having any window component

    Hi all,
    I would like to know how can I listen key events from an application that doesn't use windows
    Thanks

    yoiu can make a Thread run inside your application. This will listen for inputs in the command line. For examplethis is part of a chat server (on the console) with let the server manager to enter messages or commands.
    The message or command entered on the console by the user is catched and processed as a String. The string is passed to the processConsole() method, you must define yourself.
    Th Thread is never stopped, so the user may enter any message at any time
    The core of you application should also be a Thread for better performance, but maybe it will also work without. Jst try and provide needed importstatements.
    Runnable runInput = new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
              while(true) {
                try {
                  byte buffer[] = new byte[255];
                  System.out.print(prompt);
                  System.in.read(buffer);//, 0, 255);
                  String inputString = new String(buffer, "Default");
                  processConsole(inputString);
                catch(NullPointerException npe) {
                  System.out.println("Syntax error");
                catch(Exception e) {e.printStackTrace(); }
          Thread inputThread = new Thread(runInput);
          inputThread.start();

  • How to remap the PrtScr, Scroll Lock and Pause keys on a PC keyboard?

    This has been bothering me for a long time, I've bought a Cherry's Standard PC Keyboard G80-3000 (forgive to abandoned Apple's USB keyboard) two months ago. It's all good except one thing: THERE IS NO VOLUME CONTROL FUNCTION KEYS ON THIS KEYBOARD!!
    The PreScr key act as F13 and the other two are totally dead! Is there any way I can remap those three to: Increase Volume, Decrease Volume and Mute keys?
    Or any software can create the shortcuts for volume up and down?
    Is it possible or I've been punished?
    SOS!!!

    There are at least a couple of utilities, namely uControl and DoubleCommand, that do part of what you need (key mapping).
    In addition, if you do not worry about XML, you may directly remap your keys following directions you can find here: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/Cocoa%20Text%20System.html

  • How to make F8 key to be just F8 key?

    I have problem with MacBook (US keyboard) - F8 is mapped as trigger for keyboard backlight just as on MBP, while MB doesn't have kb backlit at all. I discovered problem when trying to install Windows XP in Parallels - Windows setup asks to press F8 to agree with license before continuing setup. So far I tried everything to make F8 function as simply F8 key with absolutely no luck. Every time I oress it it not only brings grey transparent screen with some tool icon (presumably the backlit screen) but also bumps keyboard input out of Paralles back to OSX. Nothing so far works, no fn key use, disablig and re-enabling dasboard or expose, no luck.
    I would love to remap this key - please someone tell me how to do it.

    I think what you want is in the Keyboard & Mouse control panel. The setting "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features" should make the function keys act as function keys. You would then use the "fn" key in the lower left to access the "hardware" features (like screen brightness, etc.)
    This really just reverses the meaning of the "fn" key, so if you are unable to use fn+f8 now, this might not work either. In that case, you might suspect a defective keyboard.

  • I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window

    I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window

    Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
    You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
    Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.

    I have hp 430 laptop,how can i re install the windows 7, if i not have original windows on my laptop. i have oem number,
    But i have troubol to finishing installation of window.

    Originally the Notebook will have the Recovery Partition and that would give you an option to create a set of Recovery Disk. If you have not created those Recovery Disks when the Notebook was in working condition we cannot do that right now
    As of now if you need to recover your Notebook with the new Operating System you can check if the Recovery Partition is in a working condition or not, If yes you can easily recover/restore your Notebook
    If Recovery Partition is corrupted
    You need to call HP Technical Support and request for a set of Recovery Disks , So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    OR
    You need call up Microsoft and purchase an Operating System with the License Key, So you can recover/restore your Notebook at the earliest
    I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay
    Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again
