I did a little online research on your problem. Apparently, the F Lock is a hardware
switch located in the keyboard itself and is not programmable so I don't believe
the method your link refers to will work. I did find a page that says a workaround
is possible IF you are running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003.
Basically what it does is to reprogram all your keys through a key remap program
that alters your registry settings. You didn't say what OS you are running so I don't
know if you could use that method or not. BUT even if you do have XP or Win 2000,
I would make a full registry backup before installing any of the "tweak" programs.
AND if you are running Windows 98, don't try to use it at all. Sorry.... I think
you'll just have to live with it. Here's the link:
