Keyboard laptop

One last bunch of questions:



How do you key a "windows"-R shortcut to start a run command?

On Swiss French keyboard layout, the usual key immediately on the right of
the shift is missing; how do you type a backslash is this keyboard config?


Thanks,

Thanks for your reply.
But, I don't have the Windows key... is an old keyboard. I usually use it
in my desktop computer but in my laptop I don't have this option.

I find a way to call the run dialog box without this key.

Thanks again.

Henpat,
On my Belgian/French Laptop Keyboard the backslash key is obtained by
pressing AltGr and the key marked [< > \ ] (located right hand side of
second row from bottom).

How old is your laptop?
Have you tried referring to your manufacturers handbook (or webpage) for
instructions on producing the backslash symbol?
