Solved How to disable the lock keys notification? Acer Aspire 4738

[f1rz3n]

Hi guys,

Ok so, I have the Acer Aspire 4738 and win7 home premium 64bit. I want to disable the lock keys notification that appears when I press caps, num and scroll lock. The one that came with windows 7 on the bottom right I have already disabled, it is the one in the bottome middle that I want to disable/hide. Picture:

Thanks

You would have to delete the junk Acer installs on your computer. Its not something built into Windows. I don't have an Acer...even if I did...I wouldn't know what program it is.

I am aware of that but the problem is that I'm not sure what it is that Acer has installed.

Thanks though.

Look in your start menu all programs area and look and see what Acer has installed post a screenshot or list what they have installed.

Here is the programs from Acer in the start menu:

In Acer laptops the program is called LaunchManager Application - if You disable it , You can not use the function buttons. I don't think You can only disable the visualization of the action.

Thanks BisVal, I have located the LaunchManager folder but when I try to run LMconfig, nothing seems to happen. I have also tried to run several other executables in the same folder. But nothing seems to happen.

Ok, I seem to have solved the problem, I will see if it is permenant after a reboot and report back.

Thanks all of you guys, I found a perfect solution, it disables all of the on screen notification of the lock keys and even the wireless and bluetooth and everything works fine!

Tell us how you did it for future reference

Sorry for the late reply, my internet has been messing up...

Anyway, all you have to do is to go to the Launch Manager folder in program files and there is a folder name CloseApp, inside that folder, just run CloseHookApp.exe and everything will still work fine and the notifications will be gone. If you want to keep the notifications disabled just set you computer to run the exe at startup, I would recommend putting it on a delayed start as this method will only work AFTER launch manager has started.

Fixed

Look for Launch Manager.
Right click icon then 'Open Containing Folder'.
(Should be c:\Program Files(x86)\LaunchManager)
Open subfolder 'OSDRC'.
Delete the files CapsLock_On.png and CapsLock_Off.png (or move them elsewhere).
You can do the same for any of the other icons that are troublesome.
