2 (Windows 2000 only) Click on Settings.
3 Click on Control Panel.
4 Click on Application Panel.
The Application Panel Setup utility will appear. There are tabs that correspond to the application
buttons on the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your notebook, these buttons are pre-
configured to launch specific applications. For a list of the default applications associated with each
button.

The tabs in Application Panel Setup may not be in the same order as the buttons on your
LifeBook. Please carefully select the tab you wish to change.
To change an application associated with the Application A, Application B, or E-mail buttons, click on
the tab for the button you would like to reconfigure – for example, Application A. Click on Go To Start
Menu, scroll down the list of applications, click on the application you wish to launch with this button,
and then click OK. The button will now launch the new application.
When you have finished with Application Panel Setup click on OK, and the new settings will take
effect. You can reconfigure your LifeBook Application Panel as often as you like.
Critical Point
The E-mail button can be configured to launch any application you wish, not just an e-mail program.
Enabling/disabling Application Launcher button
In the center of each application setup page is a Specify the Button Action field. When you click on
the drop-down arrow, you are offered two choices: Start a Program, and Never Use a Button. The first
will enable the button, and the second will disable the button. You can enable/disable either of these
functions simply by clicking on the option.
At the bottom of each setup page are two check boxes:
• Keep this button active even on Standby
• Keep this button active even on Hard Drive Timeout The first will enable/disable the button when
your system is in Standby mode, and the second will enable/ disable the button when your hard
drive has timed out.
Critical Point
If you choose to have the buttons work when the note-book is in standby or off, they will
function even if hit accidentally. This will turn on your notebook even if you are not present or
using your notebook. This could deplete your battery, and you will need to recharge it before
using the notebook. As a precaution, close the lid when you are away from your notebook.
