Computer keyboard - Dell UK/Irish 580-12113

Where can I find out what some of the buttons are used for on the keyboard, please ?

I woud imagine it's fairly standard - anything like this?

Perhaps you could describe the symbol(s) if there are any extra keys

Thankyou for that, but there are an extra round little buttons at the top showing things like, L & R arrow buttons, one with a X on it, one witha house on it, an envelope, a screen , one which looks like a window .. Also there is a round knob with a number of keys relating to it - I think they relate to music .... Sorry if I'm being a bit vague.

OK Spreeny, sounds similar to my Microsoft keyboard. There are ten extra buttons above the 'F' keys.

From left to right, mine are:

Envelope: Starts default email program, or brings to front if already started.

House: Takes current browser window to whatever your Home page is set to.

Star: Brings up Favorites folder on left of screen.

Right-facing triangle/upright parallel lines: Play/pause control.

Two hemispheres with spkr symbols and + & - signs: Volume up and down.

Spkr symbol with line through: Mute on/off.

Film strip/musical notes: Starts or brings forward default media player.

Computer symbol: Starts 'My Computer'.

Upright rectangle with dots: Starts Calculator.

Yours may vary in detail, but hopefully not much. Feel free to experiment - it won't damage anything. HTH
