    I found a link somewhere which walked you through regedit to change the quicktouch controls. I simply would like change the "Music" button to open iTunes instead of the stupid Windows media-whatever.

    I've been Googling to no resolve. Would anyone happen to know how to do this?

    Props to FusionSenses:

    -Change the quick keys to launch more desirable apps like firefox instead of IE. Use regedit.
    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\MobilePC\\HotStartButtons";
    Once you are there, you can modify the programs to launch.

    Don't know, but you could always use regedit to see if they do! :D

    Is there a way to make it open the selected program(s) in normal view rather than maximized?

    I'd rather have internet explorer in normal view as a quicktouch app rather than mozilla in maximized view.
