    Modify the following registry key to make your Media Button whatever you want:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dell\Media Direct]
    "PathName"="C:\\Program Files\\Dell\\MediaDirect\\MDirect.exe"
    "ProgramName"="Dell MediaDirect"

    Thanks for your help. I think you trying to tell me for remapping the Dell Media Direct button. I'll not try to edit that registry because it'll be not working.

    Normally we can turn on our computer by pressing the DMD button. It'll be go to DMD system that we can listening musics and watching videos.....

    What i exactly need is VMC is instead of DMD when i turn on computer by pressing DMD button
