Default remapping windows keys?

That didn't do it.... okay, the left windows key opens search, the
right windows key opens outlook express, both even in combination with
other letters. the rightclick windows key works correctly.

The Fn key prevents them from working, ctrl, alt and combo does not
affect them.

Wondering if the logitech keyboard commander I used to have may be
causing a problem... Before removing the board and uninstalling the
software, it caused IRQ blue screen on shutdown.

Anything else I might try?

Thanks.

Doesn't sound like your keys need remapping. Your mouse commands should be acting similarly.

My windows key that is supposed to open the start menu instead opens
the search menu. In addition, when I use the windowkey/E option to
open windows explorer, it opens both the search window and windows
explorer.

Is there a way to map the windows key back to its default setting?

Thanks.

Hi,
I dont have a keyboard like yours so i cannot help with the Fn keys. As long
as the standby issue goes, it should have worked out...dont know why it is
not in your case. Will let you know if i find something else.
