Customizing the Easy Access Buttons
All Easy Access Buttons can be reprogrammed to open any software
application or data file on the hard drive, or any Internet address.
An Internet address, also referred to as a URL (Uniform Resource
Locator), is simply a pointer to a Web page, file, image, newsgroup,
or other resource available on the Internet. It is very similar to the
path and file name used to point to a file on the computer’s hard drive.
For example, the URL that points to the HP Web site is
http://www.hp.com.
To reprogram the Easy Access Buttons, complete the following steps:
1. Double-click the keyboard icon located in the status area (lower
right corner) of the Windows task bar. The Keyboard Properties
dialog is displayed.
2. Click the Help button for instructions.
