    if I decided I don't want the OneKey recovery software on the lenovo Y470, is there a way to reassign that button to launch a different program so I don't end up with a button that does nothing after i uninstall the program?

    anyone? I would assume it's using the regedit but im not sure which key controls that button on the laptop, if anyone has a clue or know more about registry editing would help that'd be great!

    So at the end, i decided to not mess with regedit without knowing exactly what to do. I ended up just copying the entire folder of windows media player over and renamed the application "OneKey Recovery" and named the original something else

    I suppose this way I'll be able to keep the software as well incase one day I do decide I want to make a backup disc, but for now when I press the button my music player comes up :)

    Simple and not very smart, but it works
