    There should be a button on the screen bezel that gives you access to the tablet PC shortcut menu. It looks like a toolbox. If the option isn't already there to switch network connections, then you can add it to the list.

    "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\HOTKEY\TpFnF5.exe" You can also look for this exe file and add it as a shortcut in your start menu. It brings up the fnf5 utility. I use it when my fn stuff gets funky.

    Is there a similar shortcut for Fn+F3 (power profiles)? Because I don't see it in that folder.

    Hmm, ya I don't see anything either. I tried to figure out what process it was (just by looking at taskbar when I launched it), but I couldn't.

    Maybe it runs in something else and doesn't have a dedicated execute...

    what does the power profile actually do? seems to me it just controls the brightness of the screen.
