i do not think so, they are programed in by the manufacture, you should be able to use the fn key to select or deselect if you want it to do what the manufacture had it set for. excuse me if i'm mistaken but i think that is what your talking about, correct me if i'm wrong

Right. Function keys send a custom scan code to the system which is then picked up via a custom implementation. There is no standard, and therefore they are not interchangeable.

chadt4 is on my good side for that article. it showed me that if you use a program... u can remap them.
