quickplay buttons on xp

i have a dv6599ee, and i have successfully installed XP Pro on my laptop thanks to the tutorials on this site. now i would like to use the quickplay buttons but dont know how (the blue Quickplay and dvd buttons on the upper left). and also , do any of you know how to assign the blue buttons on the upper right (the back, play/pause, forward and stop buttons) to for example VLC, or even the WMP? thanks for the help!

 

im pretty sure that you cant change the back,play, forward and stop buttons to anything else

 

If you are willing to use Winamp, I believe you can remap the buttons to launch winamp through the Winamp hotkey utility. I havent tried this myself but have seen this being offered as a solution in the forums.

Alternatively give older versions of the Quicklaunch buttons a try. From what I can remember HP removed the remapping functionality with the updated version of Quicklaunch. Ofcourse there is a caveat in that the old versions might not work with the newer systems or Vista but if you want to give it a try; download and install the 6.00 G2 version of Quicklaunch buttons software. This should allow you to assign the Q and the DVD button to open any software you want.

 

Thats Awesome!!! I didn't know you could do that
thanks!

 

thanks for the reply, i tried installing the hp quicklaunch 6.00 g, i saw the option to remap the quickplay Q button and dvd button on the top left but it did not work, and also the clicking sound when i volume up/down was gone, but it was still working. so i just reinstalled the latest one for now till there is a solution for this.
