Hi Flor, The, F, lock key is directly to the right of the F12 key. I've done numerous searches to find a layout for this particular keyboard & I'm only finding images of the damn thing. So far, Google has not been my friend! LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL
When pressing the key located where the right side Windows / Start menu key is supposed to be in conjunction with other keys, the computer does nothing. Maybe this key will only work with the software installed. Please don't get me wrong, the keyboard works fine but, I use that right side Windows / Start Menu Key, a lot! I run a program called, WinKey, & I have many shortcut keystrokes that are assigned to this key if it were there but, not with this keyboard obviously! Thank you very much for all your help. Take care.

You're dealing here with the F LOCK Key, which is apparently OFF. (If not, you'd know this by pressing one of the FUNCTION KEYS, as they've been changed to do alternative functions if the F LOCK key is enabled. What were the Microsoft guys thinking when they designed that? (Your guess is better than mine!) The keyboard software configuration may be something called IntelliType Pro. You may need to install it from the CD to reassign the key - if that's possible. But, there are other alternatives. First, Take a look at the Microsoft article, at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894037 etc. The second alternative I believe is that you could ring Microsoft Accessibility and ask them to change the functionality of the F Lock key. (You guys are lucky to have this telephone access. Not every country has!) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <mb69ma...@charter.net> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 9:46 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Keystroke Functionn, How Do I Change 1 > Hi Flor, > > It is a Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 keyboard.
