Thank you for the reply Dragon-Fur. I just tried that but it isn't helping me because i can't find the App key for internet/http in the list  on the left side. I also tried by pressing type button but it didn't help because nothing eppears on the screen and it just open the bowser 😞

Please help....

Apologies - I do not understand your question / concern.

Does the "HowTo" webpage not open for you?

My intention is to help you get closer to a solution.  I have not attempted these changes on my keyboard.

Sorry if i couldn't elaborate my question properly. Actually when i press Internet Browser button it opens my default Internet browser i.e. Mozilla Firefox. I want to change it that i should open some other application like calculate or some other application.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your intention.

Ok... back to the original question.  Smiling.

I am sure I cannot help you directly -- I won't do this to the keyboard that has the ability to make this change.  Smiling.  Just not something I care to try.

I did find a Free resource for you - it sounds as if it is worth considering.  The price is certainly right.
