    Anybody create an xp batch file to run at startup, that will force fans to max?

    I'm thinking something with keycodes for FN + 1 stored in text file, then use redirection in batch file to read the keycodes and send to STDIN

    Fake out the O/S, make it think you pressed FN + 1. Capeche?

    Unfortunately, the fn keys never get to the OS (except for some to send a signal to enable the hotkey overlay software), they are all done in the keyboard controller firmware, so this is impossible

    I just press FN+1 right at bootup after the wi-fi/bluetooth LED turns on. Simple.
