Is there a way to reverse the action of the f-lock? I would like the f-keys
to be the default, not all that other crap.

I have been to your site and downloaded the fix. I applied it, but it didn't work. Then I realized that it doesn't work with itouch. You wouldn't just happen to know the itouch registry codes would you? I know some of them though tinkering around in the registry. I have a good backup of it stored on a different drive just incase I kill it.

If you post it here I'll see if it's worth checking... Kinda busy with another project right now (it's 2am, can you tell it's being hassle? :-p), but I'll give it 5 mins to see if it's worth giving it half an hour...

Just in case anyone else is interested, here are some interesting things I have come up with while checking the registry for a fix. The following are key values in the registry that correspond to the special keys. These registry keys can be found at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logitech\iTouch\HardwareInfo\C\KeyboardLayout These apply to the Logitech access keyboard, model # Y-SR34 For the special keys at the top that are not affected by F-Lock. 1: My Home 2: Email 3: Messenger 4: Search 100: Media 106: Mute 107: Volume up 108: Volume Down 700: User/Sleep (The "moon" button) Now for those infamous iTouch functions assigned to the function keys. These are the four in the middle that correspond with F5-F8. 101: Previous track (F5) Non programmable 102: Next track (F6) Non programmable 103: Play/Pause (F7) Non programmable 104: Stop (F Non programmable The others. 400: New (F1) Programmable 401: Reply (F2) Programmable 402: Forward (F3) Programmable 403: Send (F4) Programmable 408: My Com (F9) Programmable 409: My Doc (F10) Programmable 410: My Pic (F11) Programmable 411: My Music (F12) Programmable There is one other registry key that I have not figured out yet, but as soon as I get more info on how this thing works, I will post it as a follow up in this thread. If I figure it out, maybe you could add the info to your website.

If you posted a proper registry snippet I might be able to draw some conclusions or work out how to remap the keys by hand (since the iTouch software is somewhat restrictive on what it will allow). I don't have iTouch installed, so I don't really know what you're on about :-p Ben -- A7N8X FAQ: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.ben.pope.name/a7n8x_faq.html" target="_blank">www.ben.pope.name/a7n8x_faq.html</a> Questions by email will likely be ignored, please use the newsgroups.
