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.
