Can I change fn key settings?

I sign into an emulator for work and have to use my F keys a lot.I hate having to hold down the FN key at the bottom of the keyboard just to use my keys. Does anyone know how to turn off the settings of the F keys and use them as they are mapped on my emulator? My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6

There are quite a few ways to do it, you can try these;

SharpKeys

Keyboard remap – Pause Break key as DEL key | Hana & Sarah's Freeware blog

Much more comprehensive;

http://www.autohotkey.com/

Some keys, often the Function keys, on various machines, are "Hard Coded", and can't be remapped because they don't have a scan code.

Be careful! Remapping keys can cause problems.......................
