    these media buttons on the left side of my laptop, can i configure them?
    i know there was a project long time ago with a tool that allowed users to change them, but it's no longer updated... and the file isn't even online anymore..

    does anyone sitll have it? or is aware of a new project?

    thanks

    There was that HControl hack floating around and this has been discussed on several occasions in the past, but it hadn't been updated since something like 2005.

    Bottom line is that there isn't really a good way to freely re-program them to launch or activate the feature of your choice - it's just a media thing Asus built into the W3 series. Nothing new for it, but the W3 has been EOL for almost 18 months and Asus didn't build the buttons into any of the more recent systems so you're going to be stuck with having it work just where it does now....
