    You know those quick access buttons where you press one time and it opens up the internet browser or the acer eTechnology and stuff?

    Is there a way we can change what that button opens up to/with?

    If you guys don't understand what part I'm asking I can post a pic.

    You can configure them through the Launch Manager program.

    Should be in the system tray running.

    I did a clean install of vista.....so no more acer programs......

    But I read on my manual the P button is for programming it, but when it said to look at page 51 for further details, acer forgot to put page 51. They stopped at page 48 :(

    Go to the Acer drivers page: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads.html

    and find your model. In its Vista section download the Launch Manager program. That will allow you to to configure the hotkey buttons.

    In my opinion I think its the only useful Acer application. Even when I did a clean install of Vista that was the only Acer program I had on it.
