    I don't know about locked or how to change the shortcut/s, but
    'normally' one could turn off or reboot the computer with the sequence:

    ctrl-esc (brings up Start menu) U (shortcut item in Start menu opens the Turn off computer function) then S does standby, U shuts down and R restarts.

    Yeah, but I was at the locked screen (winkey+L) so no Start Menu and
    requires to login to get the desktop.

    Thank you in advance. :)

    Do you want to remap some key?

    AutoHotKey is free and pretty easy to use, except as below.

    Key Remapper for $24 is a little easier to use but especially easier
    to use to get remapping of certain keys to only occur when certain
    programs are running. I still can't get AutoHotKey to do that, even
    though I know it's supposed to do it.

    My "multimedia keyboard" is still attached to a broken computer, but
    using either of the above programs, I assigned / and * of the
    numerica keyboard to be volume down and volume up, and I assigned
    pause/break to be mute. These are the 3 multimedia keys I used 98% of
    the time. So now any keyboard is multimedia. There are some other
    keys I never use that for future needs.

    I would like to have pause/break function normally in cmd and tcc/le,
    and I would like Insert to not function in Forte Agent 6, and if
    anyone can explain how to do that in Autohotkey, I'd appreciate it.

    What happens if you use the MS virtual on-screen
    keyboard? Google for which.

    I've used it when for some reason the keyboard
    drivers didn't work but the mouse did.
