some of them are in the BIOS, some are where ty said, and some are a simple "hit the fn key once" setup, it depends on what computer your dealing with.

Really? Glad it is that easy! I thought it was odd that the setting
was in BIOS; this makes more sense.

I had this same problem. you need to do this:
go to start and type mobility.
tab over to "change behavior," and select "function key," instead of
multimedia key.

Hi all,

Sorry to bother you with this but, I can't come up with the right
combination of words in Google to get an answer.

I just bought a HP Netbook running Windows 7.  The function keys have
their default behaviour as some kind of function keys.  So, in order to
use the insert key, I have to hold down the function key and insert.  I
would like to have that row work at natively meant. For example, I would
like to push [f1] and have it perform the default [f1] behaviour without
having to hold the function key.

Anybody know how to fix this? I have fixed this on my Mac but, I have no
idea where to go in Windows.

Thx,
Jeff
