    Is there any way to remap the three buttons next to the power button on the Sager NP5793? Right now they are set up to launch the web browser, email client, and I don't know what the third one, labeled with an 'A' does. I'd like to be able to assign other applications to them.

    Sharp keys is a pretty easy program to use, but is a little limited (won't recognize some keys)

    Auto Hot Keys is one that's a little more technical and time consuming, also needs to be put in the startup folder and runs in the background. but can do almost anything

    I've used both and perfer Sharpkeys when it works for the task I need it.

    I`ve used SharpKeys also. It works flawlessly, at least with XP.

    Wondering the same thing here...

    I pretty much don't use those at all, would be nice to remap them to launch apps or something.
