    Discovered a few things already like Classic Shell (yay!) etc.

    http://www.classicshell.net/

    but I can't work out how to make the Fn-7 and Fn-10 behaviour work like it has on all my other toughbooks previously (28, 18 and 29 all of which have Xp pro).

    I also cannot work out how to stop the super-annoying auto-scrolling in Firefox. I found some settings in firefox itself but they don't seem to prevent the auto-scrolling.

    Also how is the bios accessed? Is it the same as on an earlier toughbook?

    My unit is a CF-31SFLAXIM - got no idea if that's good or bad in the realm of CF31 configurations. I got the 500 GB Samsung SSD option and the machine has 16 GB of RAM. Doesn't have a GPS (I wasn't after that) or a CD/DVD drive (I wasn't after that either).

    It does have a backlist emissive kbd. and the seller did supply me with the Win 10 media on a USB stick.
