    Hey... just got a quick question that someone probably knows the answer to.

    Is it possible to change the media direct button so it launches another program (such as itunes) instead of the media direct application? I already uninstalled the media direct application so the computer does nothing when I press the button now.

    I doubt it since the media direct button doesn't actually load Vista, meaning you can't access iTunes without loading the OS. You can access the files of it though and play them through Media Direct.

    Sorry.. I meant when I'm already booted into Windows.. I really don't care about using the application without having to start up.
