    Hi,

    Is there anyway to change which programs get launched when you click on the buttons on top of the keyboard. For example, when pressing music, instead of launching Microsoft's music player I would like for it to launch Itunes.

    Help would be great!
    Thank you.

    I don't have the info with me at the moment, but they're configurable via the registry, I believe.

    Maybe go to your keyboard settings in the CP?

    I know on a lot of 3rd party peripherals you can program it to open any player you want.

    me, where did you get the rig from? There's a .reg file that came with my drivers and it assigns the buttons to functions. I can get you a copy and you're welcome to edit it, for your personal needs. Lemme know. :)

    Ahh, thank you all. I didn't realize it was the .reg files that was provided altered the buttons. I'm currently away from my laptop, but I will play around with it!

    Also, E-wrecked thanks for the offer, I already have the .reg file, but just didn't know I could edit it. I assume it is possible to open the file with notepad?

    Thanks again everyone.
