Hi everybody.
We all know the small capabilities of MediaDirect of our Dell notebooks and so i decided to use the button since i have it.
I've been thinking to make it start an application (i had Winamp in my mind) under Windows XP (which i am currently using).
Does someone have an idea where can i reconfigure the thing this button does or a tool that can give me options for customization?
I've formated the HDD completely when i got my Dell Inspiron 1520 (if it is needed i can add the specs) and so there is no MediaDirect partition so no chance for conflicts.![]()
Any ideas?
(i've tried looking inside winamp's settings but there only apply to an alredy started winamp, so... no good)
Thank you for every idea in advance
//edit --- sorry if there is another thread for this - i used search but no luck

I have a bookmark at home on how to edit the registry to change what the button does. I will post it when I get home.

Nice. I'd be nice if that works. I'm checking now the Dell CD i've got with the notebook (1 month and still haven't explored it...

Thank you for the link.
I've found these three locations:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MobilePC\HotStartButtons\0
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\MobilePC\HotStartButtons\0
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\MobilePC\HotStartButtons\0
but unfortunately i don't have MobilePC directory ... and when i search for a HotStartButtons - no results.
Any other ideas? -
