fn-key

I'm using Windows 7 on Dell New Inspiron 14z Ultrabook. It doesn't have Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys. Instead I have to use Fn + arrow keys.

Can I re-map those to Ctrl + arrows or Alt + arrows or Shift + arrows?

That way I could go one page up and down with only my right hands rather than with the left hand on the Fn key and right hand on arrow key.

Also, volume up and down is assigned to FnF11 and FnF12. Can I re-map them to F11 and F12? Existing functions assigned to F11 and F12 will be replaced by FnF11 and FnF12.

Is it possible?
