247718 2004-06-26 09:36:00 I just got myself the Labtec Wireless Desktop Edge keyboard and optical mouse. I installed the software that comes with the keyboard and mouse but I can't find out where to change the keyboard hotkeys. Does anyone know a utility or driver that I can use to change the hotkeys on the keyboard to what I want them to be? wintertide (1306)

247720 2004-06-28 06:34:00 And the operating system is..?
Windows or Linux?
Version?

If Windows, does the driver install not provide an extra tab on the Keyboard options (Under Control Panel) to set the keys?

247721 2004-06-28 07:12:00 Sorry, the OS is XP Professional... No, there isn't a tab under the Keyboard Control Panel to change it :( wintertide (1306)
247722 2004-06-28 07:13:00 And almost forgot to mention.. the CD didn't provide a driver or a program to change the keys. wintertide (1306)
247723 2004-06-28 07:40:00 The CD does contain the user documentation though. Does that not provide any clues? godfather (25)
247724 2004-06-28 08:46:00 The documentation is just telling me about the batteries and the ergonomics of the keyboard, nothing about changing the hotkeys :(

If anyone knows a utiliity that I can get, I'll just use that instead of the keyboard software (which is useless)

247725 2005-05-11 01:16:00 I haven't figured it all out yet either but there is a program for the hotkeys on the cd. Using Windows explorer, find and run the file magickey.exe . I had to run it from the run command in the start menu. I'm fairly new to installing my own hardware so haven't got the customization figured out yet (i.e. how to get the email key to open something other than outlook) but running it from the run command DID activate the keys for me. Hopefully, you can figure out the details!

I hope it works!
