    hi,

    I have an M70-Sa which has several hot keys using the FN key to launch things like email etc. Is there a way to change which apps it launches? Meaning if i want email i want it to launch outlook not windows mail. I can't find any info in the manual for this. Any ideas? Also why can't we search the forums anymore?

    You should be able to change the mail program launched, by making it the default mail program. Same for the internet browser.

    If you need further customization, then you might want to have a look at ASUS Notebook keys. It's linked from the Info Booth, under "Customize your hotkeys" or something similar, filed under Miscellaneous.

    As to the search: I don't know what is its status right now. You might need a certain postcount to search. In any case, it's no big trouble: just use the Google searchbox in the top-right corner on blue background, that should help.
