Windows 7 Key Mapping / Remapping And Combinations
Jan 23, 2011
How can I make FN key work on a desktop pc while using Apple keyboard and not lose the F1 - F12 function keys. Like f1-f12 works normal but after presing FN - F12 my sound volume on pc goes up or ctrl +f12 like question below. How can I find and remap combination of keys like CTRL+f12 and other variations. Is there an app than can have more options and all keys to remap like sharpkeys or key tweak. System Windows 7 64 Bit ultimate.

I was wondering if there is a way to remap the windows hotkeys or even disable them.
You see, I am wanting to use alt+tilde as a keybind in a game I play, but whenever I push it, it seems to be a keybind for Windows 7 that has to do with the taskbar.

In XP, I used to be able to easily Copy & Paste using the CTL+INS, SHIFT + INS keys. How to do that in Windows 7. Is that feature gone? Or is there a new procedure or set of keys? (Short of right-clicking & using the popup menu).

I use two keyboard layouts on my computer--English and Russian. I switch between the two using left Ctrl+Shift. I want to remap my keyboard so that in both keyboard layouts my "caps lock" key does nothing and my "insert" key becomes a caps lock key.
Attached are a couple of screen shots of what I currently have in my registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout.

I have a UK keyboard and using the AltGr key with a, e, i, o and u give me the letters with an acute accent (� � � � �). Is there any way to remap them so I get the vowels with a grave accent?

Recently I began having issues with my alt keys in games. I use a razer lycosa keyboard, as well as an n52te gamepad. Using a gamepad as my main source of imput during gameplay, the alt key is extremely useful as it allows me to have a whole additional set of keybinds with the limited amount of keys the gamepad has in comparison to the keyboard.A few weeks back I was gaming and noticed that if i was holding alt, and trying to use my movement keys (wsad is how I have the gamepad setup) the a, s, and d keys would not move my character on the gamepad or keyboard. If I just press a, s, or d on the gamepad or the keyboard without holding alt, they all work properly. Strangely, alt + W works fine and will move my character forward, and it seems to be only the a, s, and d keys being affected..My first thought was that maybe somehow i had bound something to Alt + a, s, or d ingame so i made sure nothing was bound to those keys. On a side note, the easiest way to do this generally besides checking through manually would be to just bind said keys, and then change that bind to something else. On the keybind screen in games, Alt + a, s, or d would have no effect, as if it hadnt been pressed, and would still be awaiting imput as to what key to bind.
I am running my games as administrator on a windows 7 x64 system, nothing running besides the game client. Multiple virus scans on the machine to make sure malware isnt the cause. Razer lycosa drivers installed and up to date from razer's website, same with the n52te, and i cant think of anything installed recently within the time that the problem suddenly started occurring.Although I initially noticed this problem appearing in games, it is also within windows itself. I guess theres a chance the gamepad/keyboard are going bad...but i had this problem occur a few months back and it seemed to magically fix itself, so i never had to persue it any further. Also the fact that they keys by themselves work properly on the keyboard and pad, including alt, but that when used in combination its as if theyre not even being pressed.

While playing a game that needs me to press "A" + "S" and "2" at the same time and held down the keys will not allow me to use 2 while holding down "A" or "S" or "D" an "S" and gives me a "BOOP" noise while attempting to do so.I can do it with "W" "A" "S" or "D" but never with two pressed down at once.

I've been going round and round trying to resolve this problem with no success. We have a small business using a PC as a server. The "Server" and all the PCs except one (the accounting machine) are running Windows 7 Pro (64-bit). All machines (including XP) are using the same workgroup name: WORKGROUP. The problem I'm having is that the XP machine can neither see the Workgroup, nor can I map the machine to the Shared folder on the Win 7 machine. I've been through all the set up scenarios from Microsoft but without success. I know there's handshaking going on because the Win7 Server can see and access the shared directories on the XP machine. It just doesn't work the other way.

I have 2 computer's, my netbook and my main computer. I have these setup on the same network using LAN. I created a network drive on my main computer and would like to access it on my other computer but it always asks me for a password when i try to map the network on the computer that i am trying to share it to. I have not set any passwords on the computer that is hosting the network drive.

This is my situation: I have a virtual machine running, and a network drive which is mapped to that machine.The problem here is that when I am trying to login on windows, windows is first trying to connect to that mapped network drive - which it cannot because my virtual machine has to start up first. This results in a rather long login-time.So my question is, is there some (registry) setting which allows me set this connection timeout to 0? Or that it won't automatically reconnect the drive at login? Of course the setting 'Do not automatically reconnect at login' is too obvious and does not work, because it also removes the whole mapped network drive at system restart - in my situation the drive should be there, just not connected

We used to map a network location an http site in Windows XP. Worked well, but under Windows 7 when we map the same location we show an empty folder and it should contain all the links from the site. I did notice that when we tried this on a different XP box we were prompted for the user ID and Password to login to the share (makes sense to me... ) but there was no prompt in Windows 7 - instead we just get "This Folder Is Empty" Did I miss something? We can access the website in IE... did not try to access the share using the computer name instead of the website... could try that.... however they use the mapping as above because they still use FrontPage to administer the site and this method provides the mappings etc that FrontPage likes to have.

this is one for the techie (if you dare (LOL)). When my computer boots, it automaticly tries to map to my external hard drive through my wifi. Of course it can't and it states can't do it. But after a few seconds/minutes I can go to computers, click on it (red X) and it brings it up for the rest of the time or until I reboot the computer.

Trying to map a windows 7 drive to xp via network switch and Ethernet. I've given the 7 machine a static IP of 10.10.10.10 and the xp machine 10.10.10.11.
From the xp machine: type 10.10.10.10 and get credentials box. Insert user name and password and it connects immediately and shows "users" folder...no problem. However, if I try 10.10.10.10C$ or any other drive and enter the same user name and password it changes the user name to "computer name""user name" and nothing happens. I CAN'T GET THIS TO WORK AFTER 6 DAYS!
from the 7 machine: type 10.10.10.11 and connects without credentials needed. type 10.10.10.11c$ and get credentials box. put user name and password and immediately have access to that drive with no problems.
No matter what I try I cannot get to any drives on the windows 7 machine from the xp machine and its driving me crazy. It also will not work if I'm logged in with the same user name and password on each machine at the same time.

Has anyone else had problems mapping the home drive through active directory in Windows7 ? we are running windows server 2003 for our domain controllers. This works flawlessly in windows xp stations, but i can't get it to work on windows 7 stations. I'm hoping i don't have to map the home drive through the login scripts.

I've found GlovePIE program, but it felt so complicated, had a lot of options i felt lost and eventually left it. It had a lot of direct input stuff so it might be possible to map this micro-wheel.Then i found xpadder, there's still some outdated freeware version. I must admit software itself is pretty impressive, easy to use... but even if this software detects my gamepad's micro-wheel it can't be bound. Maybe paid and updated version would support it, i don't know.Btw. is there any way of using gamepad analog buttons/sticks in windows other then mapping it as mouse? (xpadder does it quite good)Because you know, mapping something analog as a keyboard key makes it digital... on or off.

I need to use a lot of greek letters (alpha, beta, ect) on a regular basis, along with modifications of these. It is a pain to have to use the numpad codes every time (when working with many of my formulas, I need to put in multiple codes for the same character due to recurring accents, bars, ect), so I would like to map them directly to my keyboard to make things easier.
I have looked into some programs such as SharpKeys and KeyTweak, but as far as I can tell they only let me move one key to another, not add entirely new characters.
Windows has the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, which so far has been the best alternative (I can map anything I want to any key), but it does not seem to allow me to edit the numberpad.
I can't really get rid of any functions of any other keys, so I need to map to previously "unmapped" locations. Originally I wanted to use control + (x) (for example, control + a = alpha), but because most software has so many keyboard shortcuts this has been rendered more or less impossible to practically use. The number pad seems to be the logical choice, but the windows editor does not allow me to change my numberpad.
Is there any way around this, or some other program I can't find? If I could get this sorted, it could change how work is conducted across my entire university.

I am having issuse with an XP-win 7 upgrade.
When I use WET utility it tries to install all my files onto my small C:drive. The original .mig file comes from a computer with C: J: K: drives... the new comp just has C: and D:.
Why isn't it giving me an option to map the drives when I upgrade?
It tries to install on C drive then gives up when it runs out of space.
When I look at the map drive tab in WET it says 'no drives are available for mapping.'

Wow I am so frustrated right now I cant remember the last time I was so frustrated! I have installed two fresh installations of 7264 x64 on two desktops. They are connected to a private network. I want to share the hard drives in both of them (say, C/: and D:/ )but I was running into all kinds of issues!!!
1) Tried connecting from one, got an error username and password but I changed the username and password many times only to have the same issue. Also it said username for pc1/user but I was trying to connect to pc2
2) after finally somehow getting access to the shares on pc1 and pc2 I mapped the drives, and upon restarting the computer I was unable to reconnect to the drives! Got odd errors, unable to reconnect. Also permission errors... ???
3) Even after it seemed to be working, I shared C: drive, but could not access it!!! No permission! I granted full access to everybody, but still nothing.
Why is it so impossible to do such an easy task in windows 7?
All i want is PC1 and PC2 should have their entire harddrives shared with each other... Is that too much to ask? The guy I was installing this for, is super mad that after all that time he doesn't have what he wants.

I want to know if I can access a network share (for CMD line copy) that requires a username and password without mapping it.
The reason is for the purpose of copying backups. If I were to map the drive, any virus/malware could infect the share, defeating the purpose.
I know I can copy to the share if use the same account/passwords on both machines and just do xcopy \pcname\sharename..... I was hoping to avoid creating/changing accounts on the machines.
I know I can map the drive using netuse and then kill it after the copy. This isn't perfect, but I guess if there is no other way, it will pass.

I'm using XBMC on an HTPC, that connects to a server hosting all the media files.
Both machines run 7 and I'd love to use Libraries to aggregate movies, TV shows, music, pictures, etc. coming from different folders. Unfortunately, from within XBMC libraries are unreachable.
I thought about mapping them to a network drive, but the actual libraries seem to be a *file* and not a *place* (you can check them by creating a shortcut to a library and looking at its properties).
Anything I've missed?

I have a big problem, I was using NetDrive to map my FTP Server to my computer for some time now. I was using Windows Vista 32-Bit, I just installed Windows 7 64-Bit. Now to a surprise I found out that NetDrive doesn't support 64-Bit Operating Systems as of this time. I have been searching no-stop for about 2 hours and haven't found much.
I found some posts that recommended another FREE program to use that is like NetDrive but they still doesn't support 64-Bit. I don't want to buy a $50.00 program like WebDrive for example. I have also tried to use windows explorer to connect to the FTP Server and doesn't seem to work well (mostly not at all). I don't know why?
So at this point I am asking everyone if someone knows of a FREE program or method that I can use to connect my FTP Server to a local drive on my computer?
