(the opposite of what this guy is asking?) I use the #2 often working on my laptop, and I keep turning off my internet by accident since the F2 button is right above the Number 2. Is there anyway to deactivate the button? Does anyone know how to disable the F2 button? (the opposite of what this guy is asking?)

This is by using a vbs script to send keys using the send key command you could then create a shortcut to this on the desktop im sure this could be effective. Hoiwever i am not sure if VBS supports the F keys instead i could consider using NirCmd command line interprator tool with the send key command whic supports the send key cammand and gives the option of holding a key down for a predetermined amount of time. For example here is a working script that you need to save and whatever.bat make sure you use the .bat standing for batch file @echo off nircmd send key ctrl down nircmd send key f2 press nircmd send key ctrl up exit Also you could add a wait and a messagebox like this. @echo off nircmd send key ctrl down nircmd send key f2 press nircmd send key ctrl up msg * Wireless hardware status changed exit You will need the command line tool downloaded here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html (There is a link at the bottom) And the command list here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd2.html#using Hope this helps There is a way to recreate this on your PC.

@echo off
nircmd send key ctrl down
nircmd send key f2 press
nircmd send key ctrl up
exit

Also you could add a wait and a messagebox like this.

@echo off
nircmd send key ctrl down
nircmd send key f2 press
nircmd send key ctrl up
msg * Wireless hardware status changed
exit

You will need the command line tool downloaded here:

As I said at the top, "Not every laptop uses this keystroke, but most seem to" -- I'd guess about 80% of the laptops I've seen have support for it. Good point, thanks.

On other brands it does nothing. Fujitsu laptops have an actual sliding switch for the WLAN on most models. Sorry, that isn’t a Windows shortcut; it’s a Dell (and Gateway and others) shortcut.

What type of laptop do you have? There is quite possibly an application supplied by your vendor which can easily disable wireless. For example, on my Dell laptop, there's a system tray icon for their wireless manager; I can right click on it (with a mouse, horrors!) to get a shortcut menu for wireless options that includes disabling wireless. Another choice is to use the Network control panel: Ctrl+Esc to open the Start Menu S for Settings N for Network Connections Up Arrow to highlight the Wireless connection Shift+F10 for the shortcut menu B for Disable I’m sorry to say, Costin, that I know of no way to emulate this using an external keyboard.
