They do different things in different programs.Here are a few examples. F1 – Help F2 – Renames selected file F3 – Opens the file search F4 – Opens the address bar in Explorer F5 – Refreshes the screen in Windows Explorer F6 – Navigates between different sections of Explorer F8 – Opens the start-up menu when booting Windows F11 – Opens full screen mode in Windows Explorer I use F5(refresh) a lot and F3 which not only opens 'find' it is also 'find next'.

You can program them to send F* U messages to 12 different people!!! XP KAFBA explained it correct!!

In addition to what Kiss A Fat Babys Ass said, the F stands for Function.

Whatever you do, don't touch them 'F'ing buttons yo... (At least that's what my wife told me.)

Various things depending on what program your using. Word uses them as shortcuts for operations like saving and loading, but they're applications vary. Don't touch them unless you know what they do is about right. But when using an application the help file will probably have a list of shortcuts that includes the function buttons (that's what they're called). To be honest I never use them except before I had a media keyboard I configured winamp to use them as hotkeys for play/pause, volume etc. Hope this helps.

"A function key is a key on a computer or terminal keyboard which can be programmed so as to cause an operating system command interpreter or application program to perform certain actions. On some keyboards/computers, function keys may have default actions, accessible on power-on." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_key

F stands for Function. They are function keys and perform different functions based on the application being used. They be used to switch between screens, change colours, go back and forward, open new files - they can even be programmed to do anything you like!

Most computer keyboards have a row of function keys at the top of the keyboard. These keys are marked F1 through F10 or F12. While they were widely used with older DOS programs, they are not as popular today. However many programs, including most of Microsoft's products, support use of the function keys. As a throwback to DOS days, you will find that the F1 key often will bring up a help menu. The function keys are frequently used in combination with other keys such as the CTRL key, the ALT key, and the Shift key. These combinations result in a plethora of possible keyboard shortcuts. Look in the help menu of the program that you are using to find a list of the function keys and their uses.
