    I searched for "Toshiba controls" and got a few relevant topics, but none of them had the answer for me question.

    Is there a way to get the play button on the toshiba controls, to trigger a different media player? I know you can change the 'browser' and 'quickplay' button to any program, but the buttons that are dedicated to using a media player, are only able to work on WMP... Is there a registry hack i could do? or maybe download a 3rd party app?

    Thanks.

    Wow I never noticed this. I have the M100 and I happened to hit the play/pause button when I was playing a DVD in WinDVD and it worked fine so I assumed it worked in other players but now I see that it doesn't work in PowerDVD, it only launches WMP. This is too bad because WinDVD played back in horrible quality compared to PowerDVD. :(
