Hi, I have an IBM ThinkPad (T60) and its has a group of six keys just below the Right shift ... it has cursor up, down, left and right ... but it also has forward IE and Backwards IE when using Internet Explorer -- is it possible to disable the IE Keys? I use Windows/XP Pro Thanks, Brett

First check out the Lenovo site for a keyboard special features driver if any such 
thing exists, try right clicking and using update the keyboard driver from device 
manager, but refuse the automatic install instead choose "Dont search I will choose 
the driver to install" then click next, in the next window untick "Show compatible 
hardware" will get you to a listing to choose from ? try (Standard keyboards) in 
the left pane then in the right pane select Standard 101/102 Key or Microsoft Natural 
PS2 Keyboard) clicking next and confirming should install a basic driver without 
support for special keys like IE navigation etc

Cheers HC
