Oops

Thank you Lehnerus. I forgot about that one. Added.

Sorry to be a***.
You missed the keyboard "Menu button" in the default section.

We need a picture of it.
A lot of people seems to be unaware of its existence.

My friend (who has used a laptop for years) didn't know about it! :shock:

No problem.

Yeah, my laptop has a separate menu button, but the desktop's wireless keyboar has the menu button shared with the Print Scree button where I have to press FN key first for it.

I hate those keyboards.

When I was facilitating "Intro to Windows & Office" training, our PCs had old Sun keyboards, which had keys that would perform the "Windows Logo" & "Menu" key functions, but they had Sun keyboard symbols!
"Press the Windows Logo key."
"Which key?"

Nice "Menu button" pics.

Umm ... I actually meant the "Default Context Menu" section of your note at the top.
