I'm stumbling across an annyoing problem with an IBM R50p:

above the left and right cursor keys are two hotkeys which go forward
/ back a page in internet explorer. now when I fill in some
online-form, and I want to go back a word with the cursor, I sometimes
accidentally press one of these function keys. IE is going back, and
all the entered data is gone.
Now I would like to either disable these keys completely (who is using
them anway?) or redefine one as being the "windows" key.
Anybody know a way to accomplish this?

Thanks much!

Frank

Thanks for the link! But the Keyboard Customizer Utility does not
allow to customize these IE forward / backward keys!

I'll check on the thinkpad forum though...
