    Hi,

    i would like to change the behaviour of the multimedia shortcut located on the right side of the keyboard (play, pause, stop etc key lit in blue colour).
    I don't speak about the keyboard key that can be executed by pressing 'Fn' key, but the physical multimedia button on the right.

    actually, it commands windows multimedia 11, but i would like to pilot other audio program like videolan or anything else.
    Is it possible ?
    how can i do that ?

    thanks

    These buttons are controlled through Synaptics driver. Look in Control Panel, Mouse, Synaptics, Maybe is there something you can do about (I have somehow messed something and panel crashes while selecting device; touchpad works, tho) ...

    I've checked but it seems you don't have any possibility to parameter it.
    Maybe in regedit.
    If someone has experience on that, please help us.
