    I have a decent one that lets them work when iTunes is minimized. Or wait, that might be a different thing. Any way, what I don't like about mine is that the back button skips backwards instead of restarting a song/video.

    I assume one must add a .exe? I have not had the courage yet.

    Could we get some screen shots of the program working?

    i tried this and it does add the proper regestry keys, but my hotstart buttons stopped working a few days after installing win7 and havnt found a fix (my play/pause, stop, skip, mute ...ets) still work, its just the music note and the DvD

    for those wondering, all this progam does is add keys 1-3 to hot start.
    thanks anyways Hasan89 + rep

    I think this is what I use. There is also a program that lets you customize the buttons but I prefer the .dll file from the link above.
