True, but I found out that FS has made a keystroke for those who use a laptop without a windows key, as long as you have the laptop layout set in basic options, so there's no need to remap the keys if you don't have a windows key. : To assist users of laptop computers, an additional keystroke for this facility has been provided, which is Shift+Caps Lock+F12 (assuming the laptop layout has been selected).

The alt key would no longer function as an alt key but a windows key. You can map another key though. I just used the alt key as an example. In order to pick another key Below is a web page with a list of Keyboard Scan Codes for Windows 2k and XP. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/input/Scancode.mspx Just substitute the key you wish to use; however this is kind of advanced registry editing. the most simple solution is to purchase either a wireless USB keyboard or a regular USB keyboard that already has the windows keys on it and use it with your laptop.
