Windows 10: Need to change F9 key shortcut back. HAAALP.

And yes, I should have backed up the Registry. I realize that now.

I was trying to assign a function key to be a Mute key using instructions I found on the net, but it turned out just to bring up a volume control icon, which I've already got. Worst of all, I accidentally assigned F9, which I forgot that I use a lot in a program (FL Studio, for View|Mixer), and it didn't occur to me that Windows would hijack a function out of a program.

D'oh.

Any suggestions on how I can reassign F9 to use in FL Studio?

[It occurs to me that reinstalling the program might fix it, and that might be easier than re-mucking around in the Registry. Can anyone confirm this?]

And don't bother with trying to help me with the Mute hotkey. I realize now it was a stupid thing to want in the first place.

F9 key not working

Thank you for your reply, Gina. Unfortunately, this does not solve my problem. I found tried this fix yesterday, after reading about it somewhere. When I go to "Mouse & touchpad" the only adjustment I find is to change the length of delay. No matter if I
set it for "long delay" or "no delay" there is no change in the actions of the pad and cursor--it still jumps around with annoying frequency.

I would love to find an option to disable the track pad entirely. If I can't do it with the F9 key, then I would like to do it some other way.

Thanks for any follow-up information.
