Reverse the FN keys on M11x

I'm wondering if there is any way to reverse the function of the F keys.

For example, when i press F4 or F5 i want my screen brightness to go up or down.

I would rather hit FN+F1 to open the help menu. 

I want the keys to act like FN keys when pressed, and act like F keys when pressed in combination with the FN key.

I've searched and there is no option in the BIOS or in the Windows Mobility Center :S

    Fix would imply something was broke, which it is not. What your asking for is a change in the design.

    Sorry Chris, I guess solution would be a better word. Every other Dell/Alienware laptop has an option in the BIOS to reverse this functionality.

    Can you not use one of the macro programs out there, would need to start it with windows but many apps allow you to reassign keys?

    Maybe use one of the AW macro's if your model has them ?
