Many keyboards these days come with extra buttons along the top that include such functions as “Sleep”, “Power Off”, “Play”, “Eject”, and so forth. Many of these keys can sometimes go unused, and some can pose annoyances if you accidently hit them (such as the “Sleep” or “Power Off” buttons).

If you’re running Windows 2000 or XP, a little program called “KeyTweak” allows you to remap or disable any buttons found on the keyboard, including the specialty buttons. After installing the program, open it up, and click on the button you want to remap/disable. Next, to disable the button, simply hit “Disable”. If you wish to remap the button, you can select a new function from the drop down menu, then hit “Remap Key”. All changes should take effect after your next reboot.
