Original Title: airplane mode

how do you disable and remove airplane mode. my laptop never leaves the house, so I don't need this feature. my Toshiba laptop keeps going into airplane mode by itself and I can't get it off. I've tried looking in control panel, settings and anywhere else I can think, but there isn't a place that addresses airplane mode.

I found the solution to this problem at:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20121227004715AAu7ZM7

The solution provided by 'shakira':

go to start menu

search up "brightness"

click on adjust screen brightness

On the side you will see "Panel Open-Power On" click on that

go to keyboard tab

check the option that says "Standard F1~F12 mode"

then it'll say that you have to restart computer click yes to restart now or restart later

When ur computer is done restarting u wont have that problem

This works.

    Mr. Babu,

    The link you have suggested unfortunately does not provide any solution to the problem.  I don't know if this happens on all laptops running Windows 8 or not, but on my Toshiba Satellite laptop, pressing the function key F12 toggles between airplane mode on and off.

    Many of the custom programs I have written use the Function keys including F12 to help users select different options.  In Windows 8, hitting F12 key disconnects me from the network by toggling airplane mode.

    Is there any way in Windows 8, the function keys could be configured so that they function as simple/plain function keys?
