| | keyboard disable select all key My father has an emachine keyboard and the select all key is located on the right hand side of the keyboard under the shift key and to the left of the control key. When typing one can accidently hit the select all key while hitting the shift key and then the next key stroke brings up the option menu with the undo option highlighted, the next key stroke highlights all that you've written, even pages of documention, and the next key stroke deletes all and you have a blank page in front of you after all your hard work. This key should never have been placed in this location - how can one turn off the key function so that it is inoperable? PLEASE I HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS AN ANSWER. THIS IS NOT A MICROSOFT ISSUE BUT A POOR DESIGN OF THE EMACHINE KEYBOARD AND EMACHINE - I.E. GATEWAY - IS OF NO HELP WHATSOVER! |

| | RE: keyboard disable select all key Hey Carlos, Thanks - I am not computer savvy enough for what you sent me - but my husband is - when he gets back I will show him the website and see if he can use the info you suggested. Thank God a friend suggested control Z to restore after the select all wipes it away AND THAT DOES WORK TO RESTORE. THANKS AGAIN.

| | RE: keyboard disable select all key Hi, Control Z is "Undo", it works in most programs. One of my favorites!
