Configuring the Application Panel
When you start your system, the LifeBook

an application launcher, the LifeBook Application
Panel is very flexible, giving you a variety of
options. To set up the panel to best suit your
needs, the Application Panel Setup utility will
quickly and easily help you make the most of this
valuable feature.
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel
with the Application Panel Setup utility:
1. Click on [ Start ] -> Control Panel . (Note that
depending upon the View you are using, you
may need to click
Settings before clicking
Control Panel ).
2. Double-click on Application Panel . The
Application Panel Setup utility will appear.
The utility window has tabs that correspond to
the application buttons on the application panel.
When you receive your notebook, these buttons
are pre-configured to launch specific programs.
The tabs in Application Panel Setup may not
be in the same order as the buttons on your
LifeBook notebook. Please select the tab you
wish to change carefully.
To change an application associated with one of
the buttons, click on the tab for the button you
would like to reconfigure. Click on the
Browse
button. Scroll down to the application you want
to associate with the buttons, click on the
application you wish to launch with this button,
and then click
Open . Click OK , and the button
will now launch the new application.
One of the buttons (labelled “www”) may be
preconfigured to launch your default Internet
browser. In order to reconfigure it to launch a
different program, follow these easy steps:
1. Click on the Internet tab of the application
panel utility. Click on the down-arrow in the
Specify the button action: field. Select Start
Other Program from the dropdown list.
2. Click on the Browse button.
3. Scroll down the list of applications, and click
on the application you wish to launch with
this button. Click on
Open .
4. Click OK .
The button will now launch the new application.
If you want to return to launching your default
Internet browser with this button, you need only
click on “Default Internet Browser” from the
dropdown list. Be aware that you will erase the
settings for the other application. If you wish to
go back to launching the other application from
this button, you will need to reconfigure it as
described above.
The E-mail tab can be modified in the same
manner as the Internet tab.
At the bottom of each application setup page are
two selectable options. The first will enable/
disable the button when your LifeBook notebook
is in Standby mode, and the second will enable/
disable the button when your LifeBook notebook
is in the pseudo-off state. You can enable/disable
either or both of these functions simply by clicking
on the option.
