for anyone who was interested, i found a site which has a link to download a registry patch to disable the annoying new F-keys on microsoft keyboards

Thanks, me too.

Thanks. Good to know. I have not seen one of these keyboards before. It will save me some headache time later.

Bookmarked!

if you see one of these keyboards, run in the opposite direction :)

these keyboards would be really nice if it weren't for the f-lock function...that totally turned me away from them...but thank heavens for the reg patch
