    I re-formatted my Inspiron 1520's hard drive the day I got it. I re-installed Vista and I got rid of the Dell Media Direct partition. Therefore, my Home Button doesn't do anything.

    Is there a program I can download to assign it a purpose, such as opening my default web browser?

    Does anyone know any way of simply assigning the Home button to open a program? I'm not looking to dual-boot using it...
