    Could anyone who has QuickPlay installed on their system tell me the path of the QuickPlay executable that launches when you press the QuickPlay button on the laptop? I want to try sticking another program in that location and seeing if I can rig it to launch the program.

    Also, if the DVD player has a separate executable, the path to that would be nice too.

    Thanks in advance!

    well my quickplay gets launched from an exe called qp.exe in the Quickplay folder which is in the HP folder in program files. This is XP btw. dunno if its where the buttons get theirs from but launching that exe launches the quickplay menu itself.

    theres also a QPmenu.exe QPphoto.exe, QPMusic.exe and DVDP.exe in there for the corresponding quickplay services. DVDP as u will have realized launches the DVD player for quickplay. so its all in one folder as stated.
