    Does anyone know how to stop the keyboard lighting from turning off? I hate that it goes out so darn quickly.

    On my XPS 14, the program to change the settings is found here:

    Very nice! Thanks :D

    Now I'd like to know how to change the volume change increment from 2 to 5. I find it's way too slow of a rate to change the volume.

    I did this but it resets every time I restart the computer. Is there any way to make it stay so that the keyboard backlight never goes off?
