Logitech Keyboard
I have uninstalled iTouch software, yet my keyboard still makes use of the
hot keys. How do I disable these permanently? The only reason I ask is because my 2 year old daughter loves to press the search key to see the doggy. She also pressed the power down button which is very annoying when I am downloading something. Thanks. |

If you go to some program or web site and then you press and hold control
and then press hot key then this key will perform this action. Boba Vancouver BC "Philip Rayne" wrote in message ...

Thanks. Does Task Manager still show itouch.exe is still loaded in memory? If so, have you tried killing it or rebooting? You did not mention WHICH Logitech keyboard you have. I have their Navigator (I liked the version before which did NOT have the F-Lock key which ****es me off that they cannot remember its state when I login; I don't want to use any of the programmable F keys). Mine has the "User" button. Under Windows 2000 Pro, it tries to put the system into Standby mode; in Windows XP, I think it is supposed to switch between currently logged on (but suspended) users. In Standby mode, the network interface gets disable and that's why your download gets interrupted. I suppose you could go into Power Options and see if setting it for "Always On" (so nothing powers down) might keep it from going into Standby mode when hitting the User button on the keyboard. Won't stop the kid from hitting the Power or Reset button on the system case, though. -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.

I have the Navigator Logitech keyboard I think.
I do not seem to be able to reprogram the Sleep key. It is not available in the Kot Keys list in the configuration program. The sleep key still tried to put my PC in standby even with iTouch not loaded in memory. Problem is it hangs my machine. I guess I will have to live with the keyboard, or buy a new one.

The sleep key still tried to put my PC in standby even with iTouch not loaded in memory. Problem is it hangs my machine. I guess I will have to live with the keyboard, or buy a new one. The sleep/user key is not a programmable key. It's like the Windows and Context keys that were added for Windows; special codes are sent that the OS interprets. I wanted to disable that key at one time because one of my drivers wasn't compliant and would BSOD the machine when the key got pressed. Great, a mad scientist's self-destruct button! At some point, the drivers got updated and now hitting the sleep/user button puts it into standby (although occasionally there will be a message that a device would not go into sleep mode, like the HP 970cse printer attached to the parallel port). Often I'm tempted to just get a plain 101-key keyboard and scrap the multimedia and programmable button features on the Logitech Navigator. They're so damn flimsy these days. Not like the Northgate keyboard you could bang on hard, replace key caps, replace key switches, clean without worry regarding the solvent, and wouldn't move around when you were fast and furiously pressing hard on the keys to move around in a game. -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.

Get down to your nearest Salvation Army store, or the ilk, and pick up a bunch of old keyboards with no Windows cruft for about two dollars each. Then enjoy a full width space bar. -- Chuck F ) ) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems. http://cbfalconer.home.att.net USE worldnet address! |
