    I see how to program the application button with the hotkey majig, but how do you program the email and web buttons?
    Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT!

    Download TweakUI (free from M$) Under explorer > Command Keys, change the targets for Mail and WebHome, and you are set! Woot!

    EDIT 2: If you want to navigate to a web page (other than your default) when one the buttons is pressed, simply select run a custom program and type in:

    "local address of program" web address

    for instance

    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" www.gmail.com

    to get to gmail in firefox. (Use quotes)

    Well, the other keys say in the manual that they are set to the "default" web and email programs, but neither outlook or IE are my defaults. How do I make it realize that, or what does it mean by default? There MUST be a way!
