    hi, i'd like to know how to assign the ability to turn the touchpad on and off to the special keys. i have assigned vaio control centre to s2, but dont understand how to use the other assignment options. any way to make the button just turn the touchpad on or off rather than open up the vaio control centre? thanks

    i've configured mine so its pretty close.
    set S2 button to C:\Program Files\Sony\Setting Utility Series\VCCPointingDevice.exe (program that turns on/off touchpad).
    now to toggle it, press S2 -> space bar -> enter.
