Note: Some keyboards have a Windows key, and some don't. If yours doesn't, you can create one using the Keyboard Remap Kernel Toy. Point your browser to
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/contents/powertoys/w95keybdremap/default.asp
and click the Windows 95 Keyboard Remap link. Once you've downloaded and installed this utility, open the Control Panel, double-click Keyboard and select the Remap tab. Under Right-Hand Side, select the
key you want to transform--such as Right Alt--in the left-hand box. Then, in the right-hand box, select Windows. Click OK, and your Right Alt key now functions as a Windows key.
