    Changing the function of the side buttons? (Wireless/Bluetooth activators, etc)

    Hey all,

    I have an Acer 7730 Aspire. It's got a bunch of buttons I don't use for much and I'd like to know if they could change... see the attachment.

    Obviously I'd like to keep the one that activates the WiFi, but the one which opens the web browser I'd prefer to have Firefox open rather than IE etc.

    Does anyone know if there's a program that could change the function of these buttons?

    Browser button probably opens the default browser. try to change the default browser to FF.
