    Oresis82 over at Notebookforums.com put together this little mod to disable those pesky Audio DJ keys for those of us who inadvertently press them by mistake and I agreed to host the file. Also documented are some registry keys you can add to change the function of the internet and email hotkeys.

    Use at your own risk, back up, and all the usual disclaimers. It is working fine on my M6.

    I don't know how the M6's audi dj keys get in anyones way... Asus moved them to the side because when they used to be on the front... people were hitting them all the time. Very nice mod.

    If you installed ASUS DVD, then yes, AudioDJ is supposed to autolaunch ASUS DVD when you press "Play"
    If not, it usually launches Windows Media Player I think...

    Right, but you can't play DVD's while the computer is off...... That's one of the benefits of audio dj.. you can listen to music while the computer is off... However this doesn't work with DVD's...

    Thanks,
