Compaq Easy Access Keyboard

In addition to the standard keyboard keys, the Compaq Easy Access Keyboard offers eight Easy Access Buttons that make accessing your favorite Web sites, services, and applications easier and faster.

Programming the Easy Access Buttons

All Easy Access Buttons can be reprogrammed to open any software application or data file on your hard drive, or any Internet address.

An Internet address, also referred to as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), is simply a pointer to a Web page, file, image, newsgroup, or other resource available on the Internet. It is very similar to the path and file name used to point to a file on the Personal Computer’s hard drive. For example, the URL that points to the Compaq Web site is http://www.compaq.com.

To reprogram your Easy Access Buttons, complete the following steps:

1.Double-click the keyboard icon located in the status area (lower right corner) of the Windows taskbar.

The Keyboard Properties dialog is displayed.

2.Click the Help button for instructions.
