This week I purchased a used Toshiba Satellite Pro 460 CDT.
I am very pleased with the laptop, but the 'Windows' key is in the top
right corner!
I touch type and am used to having that key at the bottom of my keyboard.
Now there is an Fn key at the bottom of the keyboard. I would like to
assign a 'windows' (or Ctrl+Esc) keystroke to that key. A combination of
the Fn key and either the left Ctrl or Alt key will be fine too.

Is that possible? I installed extra (Toshiba Soft Keys) software, but I
don't understand how it works.
Can anybody shed some light on this? Thanks in advance,

Are you familiar with the TweakUI software you can d/l from microsoft? It
has a key editor built in to it.
