No need to remap the applications key. shift+f10will bring up the context menu since win 95 when widnows keyboards with the win and applications keys were not nearly as common.

Ariane, Your situation is very strange to me. I can assure you that there are laptops that do have the applications key. I have been using Dell laptops that have that key and every other key. Good luck remapping the keys, but if you choose to upgrade in the future, I believe that you can find laptops that better fit your needs. Kasondra Payne
