    Hello,

    Any idea how to disable the media buttons on the front of the E1505 (and other Dells)? I'm referring to the mute, volume down, volume up, etc. buttons. Would be a helpful feature.

    Thanks

    That's an easy one, just do what everyone else has done and now are trying to figure out how to get it working again. Reformat the Hard Drive and reinstall Windows. Seems to disable it every time for the people who have done this.
