Hello. I would like to disable the F1, F2,F3, and F4 function keys.
They open windows help and change my brightness.

I would like them to not open shortcuts so I can use them for gaming.

How do I do this? I've been reading plenty of threads on it but I still dont understand...Thanks!

The [F1] will resist all but the most pig-headed attacks... I don't recommend stuffing about with it.
