Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I'm not really sure this was mentioned, but I was inspired by the HP Mini 1000 Mi interface to find this.
Basically from information given, you can't really install the interface of that netbook because because of the CPU architecture needed (something about the netbook having lpia (low powered intel atom)). So, I remembered Microsoft had some software for UMPC's called origami, I went off on a search for that, and for Vista users the Origami Experience Pack 2.0 is available (for free), since June I believe of 2008. I installed that, and I'm using it now, it's kinda cool if you just wanna use the basics of a netbook, surf the web, listen and watch media, and some other things. Also has a nice information hub, but it's super limited as I can tell.
So what's this have to do with the QuickPlay button?
Basically to make this interface "more perfect" (seriously couldn't think of a phrase to replace that) was to change the QuickPlay button (FYI it turns on the computer automatically to the useless "QuickPlay Software" HP loaded), to make it start the Origami Experience right away. Basically, anyone can change what that button boots up right away if you wanted to, for me I wanted a sorta sleek launcher interface similar to the HP Mini 1000 Mi, the "Origami Experience 2.0."
To change it, you all you have to do is change the registry key located in. The key is located here: (not sure for 32-bit, but if you're in the registry, you probably know enough to find it)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\CyberLink\QuickPlay
Change the key "Main" to the path of the program you want (sans the quotation marks if you copy it as a path). The original value of this is something like C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Quickplay\OP.exe (no quotation marks). Replace that. I replaced it with C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Origami Experience Pack 2.0\Origami Experience\ox.exe (Origami central executable).
So now, that button has more of a meaning to me, than booting up to QuickPlay (Rather use WMP or MCE). So when I push it, and log into Windows, Origami launches instead of QuickPlay. Not an instant OS, or a fast booting OS, but I think it's less of a waste now on there. Some people might want to boot into MCE right away, so this may help. Hope someone finds this useful
Change QuickPlay to something else (to something like the HP Mini 1000 Mi Interface)
