Thank you TweakUI!

I've got a Dell multimedia keyboard, and recently one of the special buttons (start Media Player) stopped doing what it had been doing the past year, which was to open up my Creative Labs mp3 player. It started opening Windows Media Player instead; I've no idea why. Then it started opening the Volume Control instead of WMP! Frustrating.

Anyway, after *way* too much web surfing to solve the problem I came across a discussion where someone with a similar problem was told to try TweakUI. That's one of the "Power Toys".

Works like a charm--you can program any special key that your keyboard might come with by clicking on "Explorer" then "Command Keys". If you don't know what the key is titled, just press the key and it will take you to the appropriate one on the list. Hallelujah!

I used tweakUI to change the waving flag animation in internet explorer to a flashing-light daft punk anime concert. That is one powerful program.
