Since what you're describing is not a "standard function" of any PC it might be helpful if you provided the make and model or the laptop, OS, etc.

AFAIK, this is a hardware function that is specific to the laptop. On the Thinkpad, it's Fn-PgUp/PgDn and on my HP, it's something else.

OK, NP. My post was out of line. My sick 7 yr. old is now asleep. Let me see if I can help.

Everything I have read indicates that Windows doesn't have this functionality by default. This is just my research and doesn't mean to refute your memory or experience.

You might try this as an alternate solution

I have not personally tried this, just providing some likely links. Gotta go now. He woke up.
