Using a Dell 101/102 key standard Microsoft PS/2 style keyboard. How do I
configure the "mail" button to do something other than open "Outlook
Express"? I use a web based mail and would like that button to take me to
the Web address for my mail server.
Hi k123,
Since you are using a PS/2 style keyboard, I'm going to assume that
you didnt have to download any drivers or you have any dell utility
software with you. If you do, please tell me which version it is. If
you dont have a utility software from dell, I would advise you to use
a third party software to manipulate the functionality of mail button
on ur keyboard.
Another option is to use a keyboard shortcut. Follow the steps below:
1 - Goto C:\Windows
2 - Right click in an empty area and choost 'New Shortcut'
3 - Enter the URL or the website address of you email service, such as
"
http://www.hotmail.com" (without quotation marks)
4 - Click 'Next' and choose a name for the shortcut and click 'Ok'
5 - Right click on the shortcut and choose 'Properties'
6 - In the 'Shortcut Key' text box, type the shortcut you would like
to use, such as "Ctrl + Alt + M" (without quotation marks)
7 - Click OK.
Thats it.
Everytime you press the key combination, the default browser will open
a webpage to you mail service.
Hope that helps
