shortcut keys for Vista

The software that I use when logging into a VPN for my job, uses shortcut
keys. The problem is they conflict with Vista shortcut keys. For example,
when completing the process on my work software, I need to hit F3 to
finalized what I am doing. However, when I hit this, I get the Search screen
for Vista. This means that I am not able to use many of the shortcut keys
for my job because they have an alternative use on Vista. Is there a way to
turn off the shortcuts on Vista so I am able to use them for my work
software??

Re: shortcut keys for Vista

You need a keyboard with Programmable F-Keys. For example:
