First go to the settings center. Then press Ctrl+shift+D to open the default settings. Then type "manage key labels" in the search field. Then tab to that list choice and press the spacebar to activate. Then Ctrl+tab to the dialog. Here you find a list of several spoken and unspoken keystrokes. Arrow to the function keys (or press the letter f until you reach them). For each key you want to mute, press Alt+t and it should then indicate mute. When completed, tab to okay. Then Ctrl+tab to go back to the settings dialog and tab to okay. Press enter.
