Where in registry MS has hotkey assignments

[sshrum]

I want to chage the app that the Microsoft Keyboard (or multimedia keyboards for that matter) launch when the 'Media' button is pressed; by default this button launches WMP

Anyone know where that key is? I've searched around and can't find anything that talks specifically about it.

TIA

if you install the software for the keyboard, it should have a spot to specify and customize each button.

But even without installing s/w...my MS keyboard already launches apps which means that Windows already has a registry keys that map these buttons

So where in the registry is Windows taking media button calls to launch apps?

[Siao]

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\16\

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\16\

That's the stuff. Added a 'ShellExecute' key and pointed it to my app. Presto!

Thanks

FYI: The current entry in the \16\ area was 'Association' = '.cda'; I'm assuming that this tells Windows to launch whatever app is associated with .cda files. I left that alone and even with my addition, it ignores that association so 'ShellExecute' takes presidence.
