    I have a DV6T Quad 6000 and I was wondering if there is a way you can change the function that the internet button(the one next to the power button) does?

    If you're into scripting, you can use autohotkey to do this. Here's the hot key tutorial page for AHK: Hotkeys (Mouse, Joystick and Keyboard Shortcuts).

    The internet button is represented by Browser_Home in AHK. So, for example, if you wanted to run notepad instead of your web browser, use this one-line script:

    Browser_Home::Run Notepad
