    Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise: F1,F3 Hotkeys Disable

    I am annoying to figure out if there is a few built in way to immobilize or disable the built in hotkeys in Microsoft windows 7 enterprises? For example, while I press F1 it pops up the help window in windows, or a novel tab in Firefox with Firefox help, F3 releases search window and so on. I utilize these keys for many additional things; this is truly a trouble for me. So anyone have any solution for this? or any other tips regarding this topic then please provide.

    It is actually too easy if you have Microsoft windows vista or windows 7. Just in start search bar write "mobility" and seem in search results for “Windows mobility center". A window will open. Find Function key in that and choose "Function Key" in its place of "multimedia" or anything else and that is it. This locked my F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5 and so on keys. I got this from a different website from someone else may this should also help you.

    You can alter the keys like F1, F2, but cannot change windows hot keys. If you wish to change, choose the application in start menu- right click- properties- short cut key- push key of your choice, it prompts for Administrator permission click yes, click ok. You cannot make use of windows default shortcuts to other applications, except the application has been intended accordingly. You may have to utilize other shortcuts. But you can immobilize complete Windows+hot keys, it will be disabled completely, and cannot utilize for additional application.

    Possibly I was not clear, let me try another time. If you push the F1 key for instance, the help window appears. This is right in any application. In windows, it displays windows help, in Firefox; it releases a novel tab with Firefox help. The F1 key is internationally bound to the open help window function. This is obviously extremely annoying as all of the function keys are prime genuine estate that windows should not be taking by default. Is there no way to release the Function keys from their novel assignments in windows 7? If this is unclear, go to your desktop, and push F1 and F3 a few times every, you will observe what I mean.

    I have the same problem and as you say that does not help at all in my case, you are just swapping one evil for one more in that way. You are saying the just way to release it from the default that is open help, is to rebind it to do something else, and just that other thing? That is evenly of no use. I am looking for a technique to release F1 from any default or singular function. I require my Function keys back. Anybody else have a solution about this? Please provide if any…
